Discussions on how to start and keep a good relationship.

Don't expect or try to change someone.

Communication about everything!
Hold nothing inside.

Do not divorce any part of you to be in the relationship and don't expect your partner to either. Be in allowance and appreciation for who they are not who you want them to be.

enjoy not annoy

Never ever ever understood the got to change them game. Ever notice couples who try to change each other grow even more different and couples who let each other "be" become more like each other?

Also want to add, so nice to see you back on the threads again. There's always a lack of balance somehow when your gone. Kind of like a part that needs to be said but never does cause she's not here to say it.

I always know I'm going to see something new about life when your here.

Listen intently

The moon.

That pretty much sums it all up!

four things, yes.

conversation (keeps things interesting)

communication (being able to talk, listen and understand, and this makes trust and shows integrity, understanding of deep love, and keeps a symbiotic nature, and empathy, and will keep you together for years to come)

sex. lot's of it! (exploration, and loving your partner to the fullest. tantric love, total bliss, soul melding)

chemistry. (if you don't have this... might as well go out with your fishing buddy, it'll be just as rewarding)

it takes both people to start a relationship. the best way is by being their friend, a real friend, not just hanging out with an ulterior motive of trying to get into her/his pants

and see how it grows :)

maintaining the relationship happens with kindness, understanding, keeping your partner a priority because you want to NOT because you feel u have to

and honestly it takes spending a lot of time together (which some of the more indie types do not want to hear) but it does

Can't help you as I don't have a clue.

Never ever ask your partner to walk your dog for you.

hahahahaha

I believe the most important thing in a relationship is to be yourself.

I'm corny, so trying to be cool is not going to help me find the guy who could love me even though I'm corny.

Honesty. Meaning that you need to be confident in yourself to be YOU when you are with them. Not to hold back, to protect your S.O., or to behave in ways that you think will like better.

Show them you love them in whatever ways you feel comfortable.

Talk to each other, and share your process.

When you get angry, take time to cool down before addressing the issue - but don't ignore it.

Get help when you need - family, friends, professional, etc. Sometimes you can't do it alone.

I dealt with a woman who i thought was true to me...but after a year I found that I didn't believe a word she said. And to prove she was lying was an awesome task in itself. I don't think she cheated, but I didn't trust her because her stories where so outrageous and over the top, I could stand it anymore. What do you do with a person like that? Especially when you know they are lying but cannot prove it?

Never exclude romance 4m ur rship it keeps d boat of luv sailing
