AlexDP Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 I love my girlfriend. There. I have said it. I really really do. There is so much negativity on these boards, so much BS being said and so much hate for the opposite sex, that I'd like to point out that I love my girlfriend. I love the way she smiles, I love the cute little things she does that no one else does and hell, I even love the way she gets mad at me, because she's never able to stay mad for longer than 5 minutes. We rarely argue. We don't have any issues in the bedroom and when we do, we talk about them. We've been on a long trip togeter: everyone said we'd break up, but we didn't and just had fun. There's no fighting for power. Sometimes I give in, sometimes she give in. Never to the point it feels like we lost though. Pretty much every debate ends with a win-winsituation. Neither one of us is constantly worried that the other will cheat. Part of that comes from the fact we know that if one of us does, we will break up and I feel like that knowledge, that certainty, solidifies our relationship. But you know why I think our relationship really works? Because we're able to understand each other's point of view and don't try to constantly think of the other party as pure evil. I see so many people who think their significant other is trying everything they can to one up them. If you think that way, if you interpret everything in a negative way, bad things will happen to you. As soon as I gave up that way of thinking, good things started happening. Life is great. 10
Pyro Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Well said Alex. Hope things continue to work out for you. 1
TigerCub Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Thank you for this post Alex! Its nice to hear about the good relationships too. Hope everything keeps going smoothly with your girl. I agree that talking and understand where the other is coming from is so important and it really does make a discussion or a request or whatever go a lot more smoothly. Yesterday was my 2 year dating anniversary with my bf and it was fantastic, and I too want to share that I love my boyfriend and that I couldn't ask for anyone better! hehe, he said to me "You make me feel happy and content" I say "aaawww, hmmmm, isn't content less than happy" - I say teasing... he says "I mean, ya know on a cold snowy day, you have a warm cup of coffee and look out the window and get that 'Aaaah, everything is right with the world' feeling - well that's the feeling you give me" awww it was so sweet. Its really nice to celebrate love and great partners
SmileFace Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 I love myself! Yes, this a positve post. All the best on your growing relationship.
Quiet Storm Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 You are so right. So many people seem to get into competition mode when they are in a relationship. It's pointless- they should be a team, a partnership. 2
Ruby Slippers Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 You make a great point. Avoiding a him-versus-me attitude in favor of a we're on the same team mentality does wonders.
