] I love my boyfriend fiercely, and we're engaged to be

] discussions and fights about this. Other than that, he's
] a deeply committed, loving, compassionate boyfriend.

Yes, I like gossip and yes, I couldn't stop myself from being the first to post in the erroneous "Home and Garden" section. Something makes me think that heading is just Decius' little joke.
