wow.... 2 years is quite long. in a love relationship, time plays a very important part. the longer the time you are engaged, the merrier your life would be. waiting for your lover to come back apparently proves your true love to him. however, to me, 2 years is quite a long waiting - many unnecessary things might happen. so, upon waiting, you should work hard to keep your relationship stays alive.

If you really love him Jillian, it is worth the wait.

My friend have been waiting her boyfriend for 3 years while he was in prison. And now they are together and happy. Though I guess nowadays it is rather exception than custom. Did you read Homer's "Iliad"? Penelope have been waiting Odysseus twenty years and he came back. Perhaps it was a tale...

Yes, it is always worth waiting for the one you love.

depends why you are waiting for him
