In a Relationship/Engaged

1.) How long have the two of you been together?

Aaron – 9 Years

Eboni - 3 ½ years

Onyx - That depends on how I look at it. From the time I said hello….5yrs come Oct. From the time he "left" and "came" back…8 ¾ months. He never really left…we kept the friendship alive.

Tia - This is a new relationship but we’ve known each other for 8 + years.

2.) What makes this person so special in your eyes?

Onyx - He's everything I'm not and challenges me to be. He understands I'm crazy. He understands he'll never fully understand me. He's been there when he didn't have to be.

Eboni - How he loves me… I mean truly loves me.

Aaron - She loves me more than I love myself. After 9 years, she still has the same desire and passion for our love as she did on day 1. She is the definition of unconditional love.

Tia - I love the way we communicate with each other. I love the way he makes feel he’s across the room looking at me. I love the fact that I feel like I can talk to be about anything and he still loves me the same.

3.) Can you see yourself with them for the rest of your life?

Eboni – Yes. Can’t say it would be easy but I know it will be special and worth everything we ever go thru.

Tia - Definitely.

Onyx - I've seen him since I was 10. Not seeing him physically, but through my 3rd I. Not just some man sharing his qualities…him. Yes.

Aaron - Absolutely. Sadly, however, I can’t say that I’d be completely satisfied. She has been my only lover, ever. It’s very difficult living with the fact that I’ll never experience an intimate relationship with another person….not without completely destroying her heart, which I could never ever bring myself to do in a million lifetimes.

4.) When did you realize you loved them?

Tia - About 6 years ago, we had just come from a comedy show and there was a moment of silence. The air got thick and then he kissed me.

Aaron - Once I realized how devoted she was to “us” and that she would put her life on the line to make me a better person.

Onyx - From the time I saw him on yahoo personals. My Creator told me he was out there and it was time I looked for him….Think of Isis looking for Osiris. I started my search in Baltimore…nothing. So I extended it to MD, DC, VA. I looked at hundreds of pics, and when he came up…my soul opened up and I knew he was Him! I've been in love ever since!

Eboni - When I was going on a job interview and he told me that he will pray for me. That may be small to some but no MAN that I’ve been in a relationship with has ever told me that they would be praying for me. “Good luck”, yes but never praying for me. That showed me that he knows of a higher power and understands that from him all our blessings come and that meant the world to me.

5.) What is the most memorable moment in your relationship thus far?

Aaron - The day we moved in together and slept in our own bed (together). It felt like how I would imagine marriage would feel; it was so exciting and enchanting.

Eboni - Having our son. As they were wiping the baby off he told me thank you and that he loved me then gave me a kiss. I felt at that moment that he understood child birth and unlike some men appreciated me having his child.

Tia - It had to be when he told my mother and grandfather that he loved them. They are 2 of the most important people in my life and for him to embrace them and accept them into his heart that way means a lot to me.

Onyx - Goddess! So many. LOL. The one that touched me the most…My sister was dying. She was in her final hour and I had to say good bye. I stood outside her hospital room in a daze, couldn't move, couldn't find the strength to walk in knowing I'll never see her again. My phone rang, it was my Love calling from work. As soon as I heard his voice I cried. Told him what was going on, that I wasn't strong enough for this, that my heart hurt too much. Out of nowhere he recites Green Eggs and Ham…My favorite! I cracked up! He kept going even when I asked him to stop; seeing how this was a painful moment and my other brothers and sisters were inside already. He didn't care, he kept going. He gave me enough…enough love, understanding, compassion and laughter. Leaving me with “You're strong, you can do this.” He made my heart and soul light enough to put one foot in front of the other. He showed me love is never lost, never far...once it’s in your life its forever, even if you never hear it. He gave me peace!
