Fusion’s all about relationships this week
Adam Schulte, right, and his boyfriend, Andy Sokolich, discuss funny stories throughout their relationship.
We want to know what makes you work this week leading up to Valentine’s Day. You and him. You and her. We want to hear about your relationships, whether they be brand new or years old. How do you get through the rough times? What’s the best part? And the big question — what makes it all worth it? Leave your comments here, on our Facebook or at our Twitter feed.
We found two couples at Kent State to kick things off by sharing their stories. Adam Schulte, sophomore biotechnology and math major, and his boyfriend, Andy Sokolich, freshman business and math major, share the story of how they met and their plans for the near future. Greg Solis, freshman communications major, and his boyfriend, Ralphael Tudor, senior psychology major, do the same.
Watch their videos, and then tell us your own story.

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 6 months. We have hit minor rough spots but we are mature and we know that communication is the key to a successful relationship. Yes, at some point in time we both have gotten upset at each other, but we openly talk about it. We know that if we hide it, nothing will get resolved. It is hard for us at times because he lives so far from me.Since we are so far away, we use messenger and webcam to see each other. I think to myself everyday, “It is so worth it.” We are truly happy with each other. We both understand the hardships of being so far apart, but we truly love each other, we know we can weather any storm. He and I both love each other more than words can express. We take the time everday to tell each other our feelings. He and I have been best friends for a long time. When he said to me six months ago, that he loved me, I was so thrilled because I felt the same way. He and I are similar in personalities so we know some of the things what will bother the other and what will make the other happy. I have never dreamed that I would meet someone who understands me, so truly cares for my feelings, and is willing to do anything to keep the relationship strong. We talk to each other when we get home and he calls me in the morning everday at 8:30. We believe and trust each other. The foundation for my relationship is trust, love and communication.
