Hi Keylimepie,

I am still here, but I do not use this site any more. I know that some readers will think that I am crazy, but I am still in my relationship. Since my last submission my boyfriend and I have talked on the phone as well as video chatted several times. He was just trying to take it extra slow in some areas while extremely fast in other areas. Now we have a happy medium. Don't get me wrong though, like other couples we also have our disagrements.

I don't use the site any longer because I just felt like some people's comments were extremely igonorant. Although other people's comments were helpful. In the end I had to do what is best for me. We still have not met in person, but we are both working on that. We still both want to get married, but I guess only time will tell.

I have not told my parents yet, and I know that he for sure has not either. I have an over whelming feeling that neither one of our parents' will be thrilled about it. However, we have to do what is right for us. I know it will be more difficult on his behalf to do what he wants to do, but we have discussed it several times and he said that he would fight for us to be together, but he told me not to worry about it. His parents are both eduacted and generally not close minded, so there is hope. Mine, however, I know for sure want me to marry a Black Christian man, but in the end they are not the one's who have to live my life, I do.

Take care,

God bless,

Nadia
