Jannah Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 My belief when it comes to this type of subject has always been, that you do not truly "know" someone, until after you've lived with them for a significant period to time.
Citizen Erased Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 My belief when it comes to this type of subject has always been, that you do not truly "know" someone, until after you've lived with them for a significant period to time. Very true. You can also see how they truly are when going through a breakup.
Pyro Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Not to mention I don't read those stupid threads as they bore me to tears. I love not having to hide LS from him. It long ago became more of a place to socialise to me, the regulars keep me here not relationship troubles. I won't argue with that:p My watercooler threads were entertaining at the least. My belief when it comes to this type of subject has always been, that you do not truly "know" someone, until after you've lived with them for a significant period to time. Very true. You can also see how they truly are when going through a breakup. very true on both parts. I also feel that I have an advantage over many people in terms of knowing your SO because of being able to see CE from an outsiders POV and what she has been through via her posts.
HeavenOrHell Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I don't keep secrets from my partner as such, it's just that I am a worrier and tend to fret about things when there's no need to, so I would rather sound things out with other people first sometimes to see what they think and whether I am making too big a deal out of something, ie looking for problems where there are none. It's because I'm in an LDR, I didn't keep anything from my ex (we lived together). I don't want to worry my partner needlessly if I'm worrying about nothing.
Jannah Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Very true. You can also see how they truly are when going through a breakup. Yes, great example. Other examples are when someone is sick, or when someone loses someone close to them, disagreements, loss of a job. People react differently under certain stress points and so do their partners. I thought of one difference so far for myself off these boards, I think I cuss more in real life versus publicly. And there are certain private matters that I would only disclose to my counterparts in real life.
