Relationships are transitory and /or change, We have a chance to change somethings but maybe some people are not good for us either like a negative - negholic.
I was living and working in London and had a strong interest to live and work in Japan as have always had fascination for the culture. So I retrained jobs and went to teach in secondary schools for a year. The experience- I would never change it. Most friends supported me. Family were glad I came back safe and sound having left them with my will and in the wake of the Kobe earthquake.
I was at a Gurkha cultural event this year and met many serving men and their families who were absolutely delightful besides brave so I think yes they have the right to abode here.
Assuming you have had some time apart why not write a short love letter /poem (only 1) how you feel and post it now that would be lovely not that people do such things these days, but may get him thinking (if he is sincere). Good luck
Yes a man said it to me recently after 1st actual meeting while chatting online after the event! I thought it nice as it appeared to be sincere, but did say I prefer to say it to the person not in chat! He then sent me a cheerful song with the words in it, an improvement, but even so.........call me a romantic, but I would have liked this at Christmas time for example after a few months chatting /meeting. They seem to believe in love at first sight, but..whatever my feelings were e.g initial attraction/fondness, I still like to know the person and regard this as not something to be said lightly, but that's just my view. There's a difference in when and why people say it. I love Tomatos can say that without hesitation. I love my best friend without a doubt
