Ken, nice to connect with you again. This will be my first post on this site. I am coming up on two years since meeting my GF and we have been in a committed, faithful relationship for most of that time.
The obstacles are enormous, but many are unique to my own situation, not hers. The challenges are almost entirely from my side, not hers.
I think one of the reasons that I fell into this relationship was that I'm not really cut out for mongering. When I met Nong, I fell hard, really hard. I have not recovered. But I also I get so much more out of a LTR than I possibly could as a butterfly.
