Dear Roberta,

Thank you for your answer.

First of all I’m coming from Croatia in Europe so many if you are from US many thing work different here. We both come from a same city where our college was situated, so we both remained to live in our parents apartments for very long time. (very common at moment due to big cost of living and low salaries). We had 2 opportunities, aged 23 and 26 but at both we didn’t go for it. At first I was the one thinking that I’m not ready, I saw that as a very serious, adult thing at the moment. At 2nd attempt she was the one that wasn’t ready for some reason. Finally at 2020 we got a new opportunity and we went for it, ready to live together and comfront all that is coming with it but only one month after I got an offer to play proffesional abroad and we both left the country. Here we had to live with roomates at first, but last year we got better terms and are living alone for a year. Now that is our situation and where ever we live, we will be together.

We got engaged recently and we are getting married this summer 🙂 Regarding kids, we are both avare that there is nothing more to wait, so I really hope we will go for it soon.

I always loved my girlfriend and that is the reason we are still together, but at some moments of my life that feeling of missing out was very strong. This incident showed me that those things I thought I was missing, are not important for me as it is to have such a good person next to me. What I felt afterwards showed me how much I really care about our relatinoship, removed my concerns and helped me to realise that I don’t want or need sometihing like that in my life. After long time I don’t feel bad about missing out on something, I’m just feeling bad about ruining what I have instead.
