relationships and our frustrations
Let's be honest here. Who doesn't want a perfect relationship? Meaning no fighting, bickering, complaining. Just sweet, joyful and lovely?Is it possible? Of course not. In the real sense, once in a while, yes. But for as long as we're human living in an imperfect world with our flawed partners, chances are, there's more challenging and sometimes more difficult wringing of our nerves, poking our minds and hurting our hearts.
Relationship is a journey of constant testing. We're like creatures swimming in a pool of turbid water, searching for the clear path so the light can come in.
But that's the way it is, in our mission to find that light, we should keep our heads settled firmly above our shoulders and think of it as our way to live embracing every moment with gusto and enthusiasm, instead of bitterness and criticism.
It's our life. Only us can accept and or change. Blaming and pointing fingers will never improve nor enlighten us. If anything it will ruin us.
So before we say anything derogatory of hurtful, we must stop and hold it inside until we calm down.
Breath deep and picture our love towards each other like flowers blooming amidst the sun and rain. Which sometimes in a split second can be a matter of dark storms, brutal gales and killer typhoons. After which the sun comes back again, and again.
At the end of the day, there's us, together, living this difficult and challenging life. But on top of everything, it's a beautiful, interesting and wonderful life.
Wouldn't you agree? Grow up and face the music. Don't you ever tell me I'm complicated and a liar. In reality, we can all be, if we choose to. I don't.
Thanks all for your reads and comments.

I think it is important to talk to each other in a relationship, but I prefer to do this without screaming at each other or being hurtful. If it gets that way if I'm with someone, it's usually the end.
Not always happy but okay I guess. In my case it wasn't an easy decision. Yes I am concurring with you. When a relationship becomes explosive, either commit to a counseling of run away.
There was someone I thought I could make a forever work, but there wasn't a "we" at some stage and not a future as a family. He got hurtful when he didn't get what he wanted - that's when I walked and I did try everything to work it out, but it needs 2 people for that.
Looking around my friends, some didn't really "prove" if something could work or they just wanted something so badly and hoped things would work out. But sometimes they just don't. It just takes 2 people to make a relationship work.
it has been a while since i have posted on a blog of yours, or anyone else's for that matter.
What is "perfect"
To some, a perfect relationship might be where there is some moments of disagreements, It is how we respond to those disagreements that define our relationship.
Others may think that a perfect relationship is never having a cross word to say, forgiving, understanding and so on.
If we are to ask those that have been married 50+ years and were childhood sweethearts, Most say that there has been times when they have disagreed, but have never lost sight of the "LOVE" they have for the other.
"Perfect" to me has so many different connotations, I'd be happy with a relationship that will allow me to build Trust, Honesty, Sincerity, and Love.
A "perfect" relationship is like a a budding flower,
First you must plant the seed, water it, Nurture it, feed it, care for it, and watch it grow.
JMO LJ,

But factors that make us difficult to get along with is simply who we are and the refusal to learn and adapt.
We're human beings, always full of imperfections but we definitely can change for the better I've not for the whole world at least for us.
No one is perfect and people make mistakes. I wouldn't ask anything of another person I wouldn't offer myself. That one worked fairly well for me.
Look at Anna Nicole Smith and some others.
I am totally agree with you in term being human.
