Exactly Josie, I couldn't have said it better myself.

Coos Bay, Or......gotta love sprinkled.

I would lik to hear everybody's take on this. What are your thoughts on change in a relationship, what do you think is the norm and why? Should there be change as the relationship matures? Is it normal if affection changes? Should your partner have to to be assured everyday and waking minute that you love and care for them? Or is it somthing you just know in a secure relationship? My belief is, two people share different qualities. When u first meet, it is what is called a honey moon stage, this usually lasts2-3 months, then the comfortable stage, this is when you start feeling either true bonding and comparability or things start to go south. Then you make it to the partnership stage, this is when you both pretty much know what the other is thinking, and you know how the other person deals and feels just by looking at them. This is usually after the one year Mark. I believe that in a true bond between two people it is always good to show affection in the form of a kiss, a hug, a wink, an I love you. I don't believe these qualities need to be expressed every 15 minutes to show your love and affection for one another, and if it does and a person needs this this often, I believe it is a form of insecurity. Anyway please elaborate on my topic.

Just not having a lot of luck on this site. Not very many members from my location.
