My boyfriend and I recently broke up due to our long-distance relationship and the impact COVID-19 has had on the travel industry.
I thought it was helpful. My partner was very kind and considerate with the feedback to my problem.
I can't think of anything off the top of my head.
it was an interesting interaction
not really
hi I'm hoping you can help me get through this difficult time.
