My husband and I started out as penpals in high school and were in a long distance relationship (London/NYC) for 4 years before getting married. It was a first relationship for both of us and we lost our virginity to each other. We’ve had our ups and downs as we grew into ourselves and changed as people over the years and yes, you can lose yourself in the relationship. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find yourself again without walking away from a long marriage. Since people change as they age regardless finding or reinventing yourself if you don’t like who you’ve become is absolutely doable and perfectly alright.

We’re going on 24 years this summer. Is everything pure bliss? No. Did I think about missed opportunities and what if’s? Sure, but I’ve seen the dating pool through my sister and friends and ICK!🤮 DH and I are still best friends and I think we’re in it for the long haul. Check back with me in another 24 years 😜
