We live in different towns, but John would come here twice a week, and we took turns on the weekends traveling to each other's place. We talk on the phone every day. When we were together, we always ate out, went to many fun places and traveled on expensive trips.

In the last year, John has changed. He still calls every day, but everything else has come to a halt. We never go out to eat anymore.
