I guess your right as I do not remember but thought I am the same and point from beginning you were willing to travel with me had I come to Spain. I'm actually not happier so to speak but take things in stride moreso now I guess. Could be the CS water- I agree with the empty house but no marriage which some may be turned off too although I am a 1 woman man, it may not cut any ice with females intent on marriage for whatever reason..
Good Morning Leigh-HRU? I would not say definite as far as strengthen & nothing to do w/marriage for it may not work out for like I said-you do not know someone until you live together ie: idiosynchroncies, habits etc.. No guarantees in life my dear.
RE: the questions u would like to have an answer
Yes they do if not put to good use...
