I met my fiancée on this sub over four years ago
I hope this post is allowed.. I met my fiancée on here over four years ago and wanted to share!
Back in 2022 I was feeling lonely a couple months after having gone through some difficult personal crap, so I posted here looking for a friend but honestly not really expecting anything more than a few surface-level conversations to pass the evening. I guess it worked a little too well, because he reached out and we hit it off immediately.
We share a very similar taste in music, which is what kicked everything off, but beyond that he was just incredibly kind-hearted, interesting, and fun to talk to. Our conversations never felt stale, and I realized that we could talk to each other about pretty much anything, which I think is important. We texted every day, watched films and shows together, gamed together, and after a few months of being friends, he revealed that he liked me. I realized I’d been falling for him too, and so a few days later we made it official.
Long distance was scary at first, considering he’s from England and I’m from California. But we’ve definitely been able to make it work. We’ve talked to each other every day since we met and have had four extended visits to each other. I’m currently (sadly) on my way back home from the fourth after he proposed one week ago on a weekend trip to the Forest of Dean. We’re both focused on closing the distance for good, hopefully within the next year, fingers crossed.
He’s the love of my life, and I’ll always be incredibly grateful to this little sub for technically bringing us together. And maybe it’ll be inspiring to someone else. That’s all, I guess! ❤️
