DenverBachelor Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 A relationship should be a compliment between two whole people. A relationship should be born from the desire from two complete people to bond in such a way that they genuinely enjoy one another's company. It's a moment where he can appreciate her for who she is and vice-versa. A relationship should be growing together and realizing that all relationships are born of chemicals. A relationship should be wanting to stick by each other's side through the worst storms. It is realizing that life will continue to throw tests at your relationship until you one day get to such an amazingly torturous test that it shakes the foundation of all that you two built together. A strong relationship is weathering that test because you are a stronger bond than any type of chaos present in the universe. A true relationship is waking up to them each morning and, despite all their flaws, you continue to love them more each day. A true relationship is the realization that, although the chemicals and first spark are amazing, that you have to fight the long fight together. A stable relationship is being able to be dropped anywhere in the world with your significant other and taking hands and walking together -- you'd die for each other because it is just the right thing to do. A true relationship is never abandoning the other -- never cheating despite insane temptations. It is the realization that the sex may get old, but it is YOUR sex and YOURS alone. A true bond is the understanding that you both took an oath to be at each other's sides and suffering the worst that life throws at you while always reaching out to grab your lover's hand. When you fall, they pick you up. When they fall, they smile and bring you back to your feet. That's true love -- and it takes two very mature people to realize that, all in all, we're all people with the same basic needs. The grass may seem greener, but grass is grass and when it comes down to it, we need to stick by the promise and keep our positions firm. I just wish more people could realize it.
Tony T Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Sadly, it's rare that two "very mature people" get together at the same time.
Woggle Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Good lucking finding this because it barely exists.
Dark_of_the_Moon Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Yes, that is exactly what a true relationship is...and it does exist I have seen it, many times. Right people, right place, right time. *hugs*
GrayClouds Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 That's true love -- and it takes two very mature people to realize that, all in all, we're all people with the same basic needs. The grass may seem greener, but grass is grass and when it comes down to it, we need to stick by the promise and keep our positions firm. I just wish more people could realize it. I have finally met a stripper. I managed to break down her defences through nothing but lies since I don't care about a long-term thing with her. I've fed her enough bull**** to feed an army for a year. I played the social-dynamic chess game with her and she finally follows me around like a puppy dog. Her name is Onyx and she's just amazingly hot. She puts her arm around me and gives me free lap dances. Gentleman, I suggest you go find a stripper for some fun. As usual, well said DB
Kic Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 There are going to be those of us that never meet this ideal person. We should all prepare to live a fulfilling life that may not include this special someone. Since I cannot count on meeting her, I am still going to live life with no regrets. I am going to stay in shape, be charismatic, and keep my life as interesting as possible. Should I run into her one day, I'm going to be in the best state of mind possible in order to win her over, and if I never run into her, I'll still have lived my life being in the best state of mind possible.
threebyfate Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 DB, while I love your description, everyone has a limit to their tolerance level. Dealbreakers exist for everyone and should. Life's too short to remain in an unfulfilling, dysfunctional or abusive relationship.
name witheld Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I had this too. btw, what did you say to the stripper?! pm me
