I remember meeting Will's family for the first time, it was at his sister's wedding, since it was late when we got home I decided to stay at his parents. That then brought up where was I sleeping. We both slept on the couch in the living room but we also had that. lol. I can't imagine a long distance relationship and how hard it must have been

    Thanks for your kid review, Ine. Have a great second part of the week. Just 3 months it was, and we saw each other every other weekend.

Hello, Robina, :)

I have a few suggestions and found some typos:
We drove straight to my apartment. Then had a few drinks and a long chat (combine these two sentences).
The marriage had been so unhappy (comma) partly as he strongly (don't need 'strongly') suspected that Kate had been unfaithful during their engagement period. He dated with (don't need 'with') a female.
I said to him: 'this I never did. I always chucked one, before another one came'. 'I liked not too complicated situations.' 'Mind you, I swapped boyfriends as often as I read books'. 'I lost count in the end:)'
'I feared they might try and talk me out of the engagement. So I made one of my few bright moves.' (I don't know who is speaking.)
We showed our rings, after introducing Robert of course (maybe rearrange this sentence, like 'After introducing Robert; we showed our rings'. They made no comments, neither positive nor negative (don't need the part after the comma).
Robert answered the phone (make sure you put a new person talking on another line). His mother asked (comma not colon): 'Where did I stay (I don't understand this question)?'
After this (comma) we had 3 months of traveling (comma) up and down every two weeks, which made a big hole in our finances (no comma), but strengthened our love even more. (I suggest practicing with MustangPatty's grammar club--I still need to do the next lesson.)

Take care,
Nome

PS: Nice to learn how you guys met!!

Hi Ine. I enjoyed reading this episode of you and Robert and your engagement so much. You've put a little humor into it, too, which makes it an appealing read. Marilyn

Thanks so much for telling us about your interesting engagement period. It's always hard to maintain a long distance relationship but you both did beautifully!

a few comments:

"After his divorce he told one me about one really funny experience. " (remove 'one' before 'me')
"'I looked forwards to this instant family," (forward)

What an interesting relationship between you and Robery at the beginning Ine, all my relationships were within Australia's borders, so completely uninteresting really. Good job though, I find every one I read interesting, particularly since you lived in different countries, well done Ine. blessings, Roy

In my culture, an eighteen-year-old is legally an adult. In other parts of America, the age is twenty-one. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

Nice chapter Ine, I had not read it before. Must have been a tough time, travelling up and down.... So sorry Robert's childhood was not a happy one, I think it has something to do with his father. People were very old fashioned those days, could be their age, I think my mother would have reacted the same...
It was a pleasure to read and I am curious what will happen next time. Fia xxx

I would just reading your posts out loud a few times before you post to make sure they make sense.

He dated with a female. (doesn't make sense and not sure why it's there.)

'I looked forwards to this instant family, that we never managed to get.' (forward)

The next day we went to my parents together. (omit together)

I knew then not if he did too? (doesn't make sense)
