Thanks Wishmaster, yes it's a struggle and I want it to work out, so I'm trying my best to be patient and understanding. I think it's safe to say that she and I are a couple, and past the wonder stage, she means a lot to me.

Thanks for your thoughts, I've been through a lot in my life and I'm sure I can handle it, I just have to get used to the idea that someone else cares about me the way she does...it's been a long time! :)
