I find very little comfort looking back at any of my past relationships, but one exception to that is that they were all opportunities to learn.
Marriage is a something I'm pretty nuetral about, not something I seek, but am open to with someone I'm in a long term relationship with, if it's important to them. My approach to relationships is more of a one day at a time for as long as it works for both of us, and when someone wants out, it's time to let them go. Oddly enough my "one day at a time" attitude seems to have a longer shelf life than alot of peoples "til death do us part".
RE: who should you trust the most ? your lover / parents ? family /children ? friends / comrades ? god ?
I trust all of the people mentionedto do the things that people do.
