I've read Believe in Love and Why he Disappeared, which helped me get through a tough period after my last relationship ended. Now I'm in love with my boyfriend of a year and 11 months, and he's is in love with me? He says he cares for me deeply. He says I'm extremely important to him and his feelings are growing over time -- but he doesn't know we'll last this forever or not. If he weren't such a great partner in other ways, I would walk away. He calls every day, makes time to see me one or two times a month and we spend good time whenever we are together. The sex is amazing. We've talked about marriage and kids and we want the same things out of life. We have a strong foundation of communication and intimacy, trust and expectations are no longer our commitments. He's integrated me into his tight-knit group of friends and their wives. People say they're in love too early and the word gets thrown around. Long distance is a tough job
