INFO:

1.) Because of our 7-year age gap, I decided to freeze my eggs at the beginning of our relationship - People told me I was crazy for doing it right after meeting someone I saw a future with. But I was already 37 and really wanted to get to know the person before taking such a big step. At the time, I was a single mom and didn’t want to go through that experience again. 2.) My husband took my maiden name when we got married - It was actually his idea and he did that so that my son (who is not his biological child) and us would share the same surname. This alone speaks volumes about his character. Btw we got married exactly today 6 months ago. 3.) We both put a huge amount of effort into our relationship. I think many people would have already given up - Maintaining a long-distance relationship for over three years required a lot of trust and commitment from both of us. Maurice would sometimes travel 8 hours or more just to see me for a day, and I did the same. Now, our marriage feels like a reward for all the effort we put in at the beginning. 4.) Our dream is to build our own home one day, but we’re not sure if we’ll ever achieve that - We also don’t know if it will be in Germany, Malta, or somewhere else. Right now, we live in a two-bedroom apartment, which is totally enough for us since we travel so much. But we’d love to have two more kids, and with three children, a bit more space would definitely be nice! 5.) We didn’t go on a real date during our first year of dating - We met during the COVID lockdown when everything was closed in Germany. Our first real date in a restaurant was 1 1u002F2 years later - in Paris. Looking back, we actually see this as a blessing because it allowed us to truly get to know each other without distractions. Especially in the beginning, we had long, deep conversations for hours, which helped us connect on a much deeper emotional level. If you can relate to any of this, we’d love to hear your thoughts! 🫂
