I'm not sure if it's just me, or an alternate way of thinking...but to me relationships = work.
I have had a few relationships of varying types and lengths. I'm certainly no subject matter expert, but I think I have enough experience to voice a semi-educated opinion on the subject.
I never want my partner to forget that they are the most important thing in the world to me, that I love them, that I will do anything and always be there for them. It takes a lot of work to do that. And when I say work, I mean it takes me consciously thinking "what are they going through, and is there anything I can do to help?". What can I do today to show my partner that I'm thinking of them, that I still love them.
I know a lot of people think if you're in a 'good' relationship, it should be easy...there shouldn't be any work. I have to say I have never been in a relationship like that. Maybe it is me...maybe I have never been in a 'good' relationship (I would beg to differ). If people are lucky enough to find themselves in that situation, fantastic. Just I've never been there.
In the meantime, I will continue working hard to try and make my relationships work and if I learn any secrets, you will be the first to know hahaha. And conversely if you know any secrets yourself, feel free to pass them on to me. Just between us, ok? ;)

You will make your woman, one very happy lady with an outlook like that.
ReplyDeleteAnd as long as it's reciprocated, you will be one very happy guy.
Just make sure it IS reciprocated before you put that much effort in. I speak from experience. It's a bitch.
