As per request.
This thread is for people to post their latest successes in the field of Love and Dating. We can encourage each other and feel encouraged by other peoples achievements, and also hopefully gain new insight.

awwwh, if this had been made a little while ago i would've just posted my bit up here instead of making a thread about it because i consider making my girlfriend feel special and loved is one of my better successes.
Also, we celebrate 10 months today

Thanks for suggesting putting it up - I agree, that is a great success! I hope to be able to do that for any partner I am able to find in the future

Congrats, Sean. I hope all is well with you and yours.
Here's a bit of my own good news and success:
Tomorrow and Sunday my wife and I are celebrating our "5/11" anniversary--5 years married, been together 11 years (began dating on October 16, got married on October 15. We have two AWESOME children, and right now we're in a hotel room just outside New Orleans. They're in their bed right now fighting over who deserves to get more covers. I'm cheering for my daughter, our youngest.
I like to think I've got this whole relationship thing mastered, though I will admit that it is always an ongoing process. We actually DO talk about the relationship itself and try to keep conversation open about where we are personally and together from day to day. That has really helped, and there are few (if any) secrets between us. And, of course, I enjoy talking about it. If any aspies would like some practical advice on how to handle NTs (or any NTs need to know how to handle aspies!), I'm always glad to respond to PMs should anyone need any help or "tips and tricks."

Congrats, you're a lucky guy
i only hope my relationship lasts at least that long as well.
nothing's really certain since she's still doing chemotherapy, but her chances are good and the doctor's optomistic.
Although might not be able to have kids in the future 'cause there's a good chance the chemo will make her infertile, so we're both kinda bummed about that.

There are ways; egg donation, adoption. I know it's probably a little early in your relationship to be thinking along those lines but putting it out there, if you want to have a family together you will be able to no matter what.
I hope and pray her health does improve, having cancer at such a young age is a terrible thing, she must have incredible inner strength to be getting through it.

I personally was conceived via the GIFT procedure - that's a form of IVF, where they take eggs out of the mother's womb, and sperm from the father, then mix sperm in with the eggs in a petrie dish, then implant some eggs back inside the mother's fallopian tubes. And I turned out just fine!
I'm not sure whether this works if you're infertile though.
But egg donation is basically as the name implies; getting a close female friend/family member to donate an egg, which is then mixed with the father's sperm (via IVF) and implanted in the mother.
But yeah, not trying to freak you out with all of this talk of children, but it might make your girlfriend feel better to know that there are other options in the distant future for her no matter what.

though she doesn't have too many close friends and her best friend is asian. Not a racist comment, just pointing out that it'd look kinda weird to have 2 white parents and an asian baby without some speculation
.
Also, she's an only child so she doesn't have any sisters as far as close family donors go. i'm not sure about cousins though.
in any case, i'll be sure to let her know about this stuff, thanks
