I seriously cannot believe it’s still happening, but it’s happening A few things transpired for this to happen, but I’m so happy we’ll be coming out here to my humble abode together! Him (24M) and I (21F) have been together for almost 4 years. In April of 2021, I flew out for the first time from OR to LA to see him. Since we first locked eyes, I knew this was someone who I want to be with forever, which is kind of scary LMAO!! He’s been nothing but kind, passionate, patient, and full of laughs; just like over the phone. We’ve been almost inseparable in our bond. We’ve always been close, but the in person factor really took our relationship to the next level. After that, I’ve been out there a few times and I’m flying back to see him this April (this will be visit #6). He made the biggest decision to come out here and start fresh because of an incident that transpired that made him feel so embarrassed to even go into public. A video of him having a panic attack got leaked without him knowing, which went viral overnight. After feeling a little lost for words for a few days and full of emotions, my mom created an idea for him to come out here and start fresh when I fly back home. I pitched it to everyone close to me, including close friends, family, and even coworkers and they’re all being very supportive. The scariest part was pitching it to my dad, but he was on board. After a few days of thinking, my man was sold and told me to get the one-way. He’s basically coming out here with only a duffel bag to his name, plus he’s shipping a few things. He’ll be proactively looking for a job before we move into the new place I already have set-up to move into previous to this, and my homies who are there now are more than happy to have him be roommate #4. I wish this wasn’t the way it has to start because of the root of the situation at hand, but I can only think of good things to come from this decision. I feel confident that our relationship is ready to be put to test of living together. We already have good synergy just from being in his room 8-12 days together. Our bond is pretty much super structured, and although he’s nervous; I hope it can get him a kickstart on fabulous future. I’ve been getting jitters as each day gets closer to me going back down to see him and his family, since I know this trip will be full of emotions (his mom is getting remarried while we’re down there and I’ll be getting to meet lots of family!). I’ve been getting a few little necessities and cute items for him upon his arrival, I’ve been lowkey fluffing-the-nest for him just so he can feel not as stress about space issues. This is seriously a huge leap in our relationship, but I feel we’re going to be eachother’s rocks throughout this entire process. It’s gonna be a bit rocky at first, but this is just the beginning of our future<3
