Testimony of a couple formed since the war in Ukraine

After a few meetings with Ukrainian women who all lived in France, it was finally Nataliia who conquered my heart. I lived in Lyon and she lived in Nantes, we both had very busy lives, with our children and our professional activities. We both work “at 100 miles an hour”.

We went back and forth between Lyon and Nantes a lot to spend time together. Despite our busy schedules and our children, we always managed to organize ourselves to see each other.

Gradually, we understood that we wanted to build something serious. We then decided to set up a completely different system of life. Rather than suffer the distance and our respective constraints, we reorganized our daily life to be able to build a real blended family together.

I want to make it clear that from our first date, Kateryna really understood my expectations, my personality and what I was looking for in a relationship. She didn’t just offer me dates just because they might seem like a good match on paper. She also knew how to dismiss certain encounters when she thought they weren’t really compatible with me.

Today I can say that we are very happy together. Nataliia is a very beautiful person and I am really happy to have met her.

We each have our responsibilities, our children and our professional lives, but we have managed to find our balance and build a way of working that suits us.

We now enjoy many moments together, like recently during a weekend in La Baule. These are simple moments, but they mean a lot to us. The projects of the development together are taking shape, but given our 4 children for the 2 of us, it cannot progress as quickly as we would have liked.

I am very happy with how far I have come since my first approach to Kateryna and I am grateful to have met the very beautiful and very kind Nataliia without whom I can no longer imagine my future.
