Mark was my third major romantic relationship in life and in this case, the third one is the charm. So far he has been the most significant dating relationship I've ever had, clocking in at around 2 years but not significant solely owing to duration. He helped me survive a pretty dark time in my life and it was quite a rollercoaster ride for both of us.

Mark is pretty damn brilliant: he is currently on full scholarship studying graduate-level Classics at the University of Washington.
