Antonio and Miriam are proud that they have dated almost two years. They met in middle school but didn't fall in love until the 10th grade. Miriam and Antonio spend lots of time together and talk about lots of different things.
Over the years, Antonio has learned never to talk about past girlfriends or even girls who are friends. Miriam is very jealous and has a fit if she thinks Antonio is around any female other than his sister and mother. At first, Antonio thought Miriam would get over feeling insecure when he showed her how much he cared about her. He was even flattered that she wanted all of his attention. Antonio tried to talk to Miriam about her behavior a couple of times, but she got so angry she threatened to break up with him.
