00:00I'm Sam and this is my partner Cam.
00:02Just the fact that she was even talking to me blew my mind.
00:05People hit on my girlfriend in front of me.
00:07It took me a while to realize I was attracted to Cam.
00:11A lot of the judgment does end up landing on me.
00:14How could she be with him?
00:16Comments like,
00:17Blink twice if you need help.
00:19She's a gold digger.
00:21Like obviously he has a big bank account.
00:24This man came up to ask me out on a date.
00:28I said, no, I have a boyfriend.
00:30He was like, oh, I thought that was your brother.
00:32The time that I've been unemployed.
00:34Comments from family, friends.
00:35Can you get a little hurtful?
00:37I would ask her,
00:38Do you think this is going to progress you further in your life?
00:41I really enjoy getting glammed up.
00:44It takes me a good chunk of time longer than Cameron in the morning.
00:48He's usually not able to put anything on until I got my shoes on.
00:53What were your first impressions of each other?
00:55Uh, shocked that she was talking to me.
00:57Someone as gorgeous as her.
00:59He was just a big class clown for sure.
01:02Yes, I definitely thought that same way out of my league.
01:04I definitely could not have imagined that we would end up here.
01:07She was the one who actually came up to me first and talked to me.
01:11I was already thrown off right away.
01:13Just the fact that she was even talking to me blew my mind.
01:16I first met Cam in the eighth grade.
01:18I saw him holding a Lord of the Rings book that was huge and had every story in it.
01:24So I immediately identified him as a fellow nerd.
01:27So I knew I had to go up and talk to him.
01:29A lot of people at first sight don't really notice it about her.
01:33But she is, I wouldn't say as nerdy as me, but is pretty up there.
01:37Instant friendship.
01:38It took a pretty long time for us to really get the feelings going.
01:43I think it took me a while to realize I was attracted to Cam.
01:47I was definitely getting flustered and aggravated around him.
01:50But I couldn't figure out why until it hit me probably about a year into us being friends.
01:56She once jokingly hit me in the chest so hard that she actually bruised right at the center of my chest.
02:01Because he got too close and it made me nervous.
02:06What are you wearing hands?
02:07Oh, I think I need a little bit of help figuring that out.
02:10I think the red with the dark pants is a good fit.
02:13I'd say Herman's style is like comfortable.
02:16He likes his books, shirts and his bands.
02:19Her style definitely is more elegant.
02:22She tells me we're going to go sit down somewhere and I've just got on some random t-shirt and some sweatpants.
02:26And then yeah, she rounds the corner and she's in just some amazing dress.
02:30Heels on, everything.
02:32And I'm like, alright, hold on.
02:33Five more minutes.
02:34Let me actually get ready here.
02:36I'm 5'4".
02:37And I'm 5'8".
02:38I probably got about three inches, four inches on my heels.
02:41That's the part that doesn't help is the heels.
02:44I've definitely overheard people kind of making comments about us.
02:49I've definitely caught people take photos of us before.
02:52It definitely makes me feel much more self-conscious.
02:55Yeah, I think that video that got posted without our permission was one of the most irritating ones we've experienced so far
03:03because it was just somebody who interrupted us being in love to make fun of us being in love and for monetary gain.
03:12This man took a video of us in public.
03:15He came up to ask me out on a date and the second I said, no, I have a boyfriend.
03:22He was like, oh, I thought that was your brother.
03:24And then he uploaded the video and it has comments like, you start to question your own looks and worth when you see it.
03:32There's some that are even labeled with community notes for anti-bullying.
03:36Blink twice if you need help.
03:38Oh, she's a gold digger.
03:40Like obviously he has a big bank account or big other things.
03:46Lot of dude how.
03:47Teach me your ways.
03:49I would say a lot of the hate I receive that's more geared towards me is that I'm gold digger that cheats on him all the time.
03:57And we just have a very for publicity relationship for some reason and we just don't have any depth to us.
04:04That thankfully the depth part usually gets expelled when people figure out that it's almost been 10 years.
04:09Yeah.
04:10I think it helps that we're very secure in ourselves and we know how much we love each other.
04:15It just gives us honestly something to laugh at.
04:18No matter what other people have to say about it, you really just kind of have to roll with it.
04:22And as long as you guys are secure with one another, everything will be great.
04:26When we first got together, it was definitely more of like, oh, how could she kind of be with him?
04:32The judgment does end up landing on me a lot, especially more so in this past, the time that I've been unemployed.
04:38People get a little weirded out when they figure out that she's paying for everything.
04:42Comments from family, friends, that kind of stuff can usually get a little hurtful.
04:46So Abby is my best friend.
04:48She's going to come on over, talk to us for a little water.
04:51Tap out some of her opinions on the relationship.
04:53Abby's definitely been concerned about the job aspects of the employment of the relationship.
04:59You know, she's worried about him providing for me.
05:02She's definitely can be pretty blunt about her criticisms.
05:07I don't want to ask him kind of where he's at in his job search and at what point he's at in his getting his license.
05:15I know Sam's been doing a lot of the earning and a lot of the driving.
05:19I would ask her just deep, like, do you think this is like the best for you?
05:22Do you think this is going to progress you further in your life?
05:24I have a coffee for you. You can go hang out by the table over here.
05:28Perfect. Smells good.
05:29What would you guys first get together?
05:31Uh, first impression is, holy hell, she's talking to me.
05:35Oh.
05:36Freaking out.
05:37Yes.
05:38She still makes me nervous.
05:39You know, when you date someone who's attractive, like Cam, you kind of have to expect girls to be looking around.
05:45And so I'm always like, ooh, I have competition.
05:49She still brings up that I got, like, a free apple pie at McDonald's from Sun Girl one time, like, eight years ago.
05:56So she holds on.
05:58I think when people criticize Cameron's appearance, it irritates me a lot more than it gets to him.
06:04Because I'm just like, I just know that that person is lying, essentially.
06:09Because, you know, I look at him and I know he's super attractive.
06:13Yeah, I think people don't realize that, like, you're really Sam's type.
06:16She really finds, like, shorter guys attractive and stuff like that.
06:19My main concern is just, like, how are we building our life for the future for you guys?
06:23So driving, that's a big thing. You can't get to your job or anything like that without driving.
06:27And I think that's super fair. But, yeah, I think we're finally kind of getting on our feet with things and being more adult with our plannings.
06:37And I'm very proud. You guys are doing so good recently.
06:40You just do a lot of the same things. You're both kind of nerdy.
06:51We're going to the barber shop and get Cam styled and cut up a bit and see how that goes.
06:56I am just pretty nervous. It's been three years since I've been in any kind of barber shop.
07:03Before he got his hair cut the first time, it was down to his back for a while.
07:06I'm very excited for him.
07:08What I love most about Sam is definitely her kindness.
07:13Cameron's really changed my life by just being a constant support system, a number one fan of just about anything I do.
07:22The thing I love most about Cam is definitely how intelligent he is.
07:26You can just sit and listen to him speak so eloquently about the things he likes.
07:32That too. I love about Sam that she'll actually just listen to whatever comes out my mouth.
07:36Wow, it looks so great! I think it looks very handsome with the beard cut and the slick hair.
07:44I'm excited to show it off. She's been there for me for every bad thing that's honestly happened to me.
07:49I can't imagine life without her, honestly.
07:51What do you say to people who judge your relationship?
07:53I say I'm sorry because something is missing in your life if you can't look at people in love and understand that they're in love.
08:03Last night my mom was forcibly making me look at wedding rings.
08:07But it honestly feels like we're married already.
08:10I think the plan's to get married, get a house and start filling up the house with a bunch of little us.
08:16Bunch.
08:17Maybe one.
08:23Maybe one.
08:24Maybe one.
08:25Maybe two.
08:26Maybe two.
08:27Maybe two.
08:29Maybe two.
08:32Maybe two.
08:34Maybe two.
08:35Maybe one.
08:37Maybe two.
08:38We're married already.
08:40Maybe four years.
08:44Doctor a case with her.
