That is a life-changing development. My parents courted over a period of seven years and managed to stay together for all of their married lives, thick and thin. Lucky seven? Partnerships based on mutual respect are beautiful. It's a pretty good sign that your feelings have survived the challenge of long distance romance.
It took seven years for both of us to fully open ourselves up to this sort of commitment. Realizing our faults and dealing with our problems has been such a greater act of love than ignoring them or disqualifying each other from our lives. When I was willing to try and see Tyler for who he really was, I discovered in him one of the greatest examples of courage and perseverance I've ever seen.
