i dont get into many relationships without becoming friends first.
there for. any problems you run into can always be saved by your friendship.
every problem in life, love, anything can be simplified. a problem is just a temporary setback until a solution can be found. the very few that have no solution come down to 2 possibilities .... either you can live together as is ,, or its time to quit

Richard and Judy say, "In all passionate relationships, sometimes the tide is in and sometimes the tide is out".

No I don't, I think it's too easy these days no one wants to work at their relationship any more. Just move on to the next one..

the law of rhythm states that everything has a natural cycle. tide in, tide out. change is constant. if one decides they want to be in a meaningful relationship, i think they need to remind thenselves that there will be highs and lows. and during difficult times...remind themselves that 'this too shall pass' and try to focus of what it is they do want. sometimes that means working on solutions within the relationship, and sometimes the solution is to leave. it really depends on the situation and hopefully there is communication and the solution will be arrived at together. change is the only forever.

It certainly would be nice if it was this way.

But,

how often does that really happen? It seems to me one or the other has actually emotionally “left” the relationship long before the “real problems” are considered for discussion. In the end, they would rather “manufacture” reasons to justify their particular position for leaving as they have no intention of working on it. If one pays close attention, it might even look like a theatrical performance whose actor’s abilities need polishing. The thing is those types believe they deserve an Oscar.

I think all relationships have up and downs. Thats just life and relating to another person. But its also about balance as well. If it becomes a case of more rough-patches than good times, then you have to have decide what you want for your life, how much your prepared to deal with. wine

hiya purr wave
i hear ya...and sadly...i also have to agree with your sentiments.
wish it was otherwise...but folks do tend to leave mentally before they leave physically. i think it takes a very strong couple for both partners to feel safe enough to be able to express their concerns to each other.

People need to be friends first, take it slow, nothing worth having should be rushed! It can be so much fun to learn about one another. So many do not want to take the time...in a rush! I am more about taking it easy and slow. Not everyone who wants a relationship is meant for one another. This is good to find out in the beginning not years down the road.teddybear

I dont believed in the idea of "soul mates", or "love at first sight". But I do believe that, if you were lucky, you might meet someone imperfect who is perfect right for you.
