In 2017 I met my boyfriend Alex at a graduation party for a family friend. When I first met him we were in the initiating stage.(McCormick and Morrison 300) After a couple hours of spending time together everyone at the party could tell that there was a reciprocal liking between the both of us.( McCormick and Morrison 297) We continued to talk and hang out and the second we left that party we look each other on social media accounts and stayed in contact. This is a new form of communication we have developed over the decades. If not for this form of communication we probably would not be together. This led to a group date shortly after. We started to really connect and became best friends. All of our friends liked us together and our feelings for each other became even stonger the long we bonded.(McCormick and Morrison 300)
After some time of hang out we started to date and fell madly in love with each other. All of his interests became my interests and the other way around. We just always wanted to be together. The friendship was so strong that the relationship became even stronger.
We went through many milestones together: two graduations, three proms, new job, new schools, military training, moving and many more adventures and I wouldn’t want anyone else by my side. Throughout the years relational maintenance is hard, we are constantly trying new things to stay engaged with each other. We also constantly trying to have meaningful conversations. Technology has been a huge part of our relationship. For almost a year now he has been in active duty in Oklahoma and Arizona, without the use of facetime, texting, social media, and other forms of electronic communications we would not have been able to stay together this long.
