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.

Compatibility is the key P and how both people are willing to treat each other. I know couples who see nothing wrong in calling each other names and shouting, but I wouldn't treat someone that way continuously or would accept a treatment like that.

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.
K my beautiful friend, I agree with you. And that's the main point of my blog, to accept our differences and tolerate our inherent characteristics, and then cultivate and work on those that make our relationship stronger, bond those similarities and unite our efforts to commit to grow together. None of my family in my village where I was born ever divorced and worked hard because that's the only one chance on being with someone.

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.
I haven't married any of my boyfriends and the reason is, I took my time to really get to know them and see if a forever could work. I did walk away from my first ever relationship (6,5 years) because I wouldn't have wanted a live like that and it wasn't possible to talk to him as his father runs his life - and still does today, so it was the right decision.

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.
hello LJ,
it has been a while since i have posted on a blog of yours, or anyone else's for that matter.
What is "perfect"confused
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,
Thanks for the opporunity to put my 2 cents worth in.
Have a great day/evening.
Should i not be back before the new year,
May all here have a safe, joyfull, loving and safe Christmas and New Year.
Yes K. I'm not sure why most people lose sight of the very reasons they got together with in the first place.

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.
People marry for different reasons and sometimes the reasons don't have much to do with love. dunno

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. handshake
The argument raised by our fellow respected blogger, Iotaoo, mentioned about some sidelines on the reasons why people are in a relationship and it's very true. Money, security, pride on entitlement like positions in public are but few and sad reasons my friend.

Look at Anna Nicole Smith and some others.
Dearest,
I am totally agree with you in term being human.
Thanks Dela, my first time to see you on the blog and welcome. handshake
I think the most important thing is to try and treat the other person with respect. I see too many couples treat each other badly, with criticizing, humiliating, name calling, yelling, accusing, and mean jokes. No wonder too many relationships don't last. As for the couples that stay together happily over time, I think they treat each other better as well as having that sense of commitment.
Obs wow. WOW OBS I'M SPEECHLESS. GET BACK WITH YOU. THANKS.
