the more is possible to respect a partner's space, personality, world. It's like there is no pression in creating a one, the aparent ONE. There is more freedom in that kind of love, free of jelousy and competition...
yeah, exactly. there is a phrase i believe that says "THE LOVE IS TO LET HIM/HER FREE".. more jealousy will allways kill the love and indicates the non-confident situation about both him/herself and her/him. but no jealousy i think is not to love her/him...
i agree too! if you really like them give them the space to be themselves. to seek to change or improve your partner will invariably lead to tears... as you may just change them and then the person who you first met and fell for will be gone and perhaps the attraction with it....
I totally agree, things are less complicated and there's more time to get to know the person, i,m more laid back and less concerned about the silly little things that destroy relationships like jealousies, insecurities, my fella's as free as a bird
A lot of my personal friends are 10 years or more younger than me. They receive my respect and friendship because they are in many ways more mature than a lot of people my own age.
It's hard to find the door out of high-school for some people.
If you are learning about yourself, you are maturing. Everyone has had different experiences...how can you judge maturity? You may think you are mature but have all kinds of neurotic issues that you don't see yourself. Maturity is subjective in my opinion. I try not to judge but like I said I give my respect to people who give it their best effort and are honest.
If the one you love feels the same way they will let you know, it won't be a strain in any way. You won't have to be jealouse because they will always be there when they are susposed to, and never do anything to deliberatly hurt you in any way. Honesty will not be hard to come by.
I think we as a group "the older"have learned and know this simple fact... It is not about making or letting each other be happy.... its about sharing in each others happiness.
The confines of each others space and time should not be seen as barriers, nor should they be placed on a scale and measured against one anothers.
time and space are things to be acknowledged and shared.
