My bf and I will have been together for at least 8 years before we will be able to afford getting married. One of my most precious possessions is a coin necklace he found in his garden or somewhere.(ie it was free

) I also still have the wrapper from the first chocolate he bought me

oh and one year for Valentines day I cut the two stuffed pink cats off my old slippers and washed them nicely and gave one to each of us
What do you mean by superficiality of romantic relationships :erm:
What I always say is if you take away the cars and the children and the holidays and whatever else, you should still have something left. That's whats important... And also being able too cook and clean and sew and knit and feed the chickens...........
