And within the years since, the longtime couple have kept showing up for one another by putting within the work to make their relationship successful.
“It hasn’t been perfect, it can never be perfect,” Dwyane noted. “But that was nine years ago. We go to therapy, we have been to therapy. We have had shouts about it. We have had regular conversations about it. It has been something that’s going to proceed to be something that I even have to work at and work on. It doesn’t go away because years come or because I apologize.”
But despite the ups and downs, at the top of the day, Dwyane is able to own his story—and is grateful for all of it.
“Straight away, that is all mine,” he reflected. “And nearly as good because it looked, or as bad because it seems, it’s mine. I’m thankful to even have the great in my life. And I’m also thankful to have the things that is somewhat uncomfortable to discuss and cope with and experience, because that makes you reside a full life.”
