How and when did you meet?
Rob and I met online, through match.com, three and half years ago. We chatted through messenger, then by phone for a couple of months before finally meeting in a Cafe Nero. We clicked straight away and coffee soon turned into drinks at a local bar… Our relationship started out long distance whilst i was at University and we went through ups and downs as stresses of university work and distance put pressure on our relationship. However, we survived and four months after I graduated he moved in with me and soon after we got our handsome dog, Bertie…
