I would've been open to the possibility of a LDR (for a time, with a potential view to one re-locating, of course) but it just happens I found some here in the UK. Though he is over 250 miles away....
Still, at least he won't be getting under my feet, eh?!
The tone of how you ended your post leaves something to be desired, my friend. Perhaps demonstrable of the attitude that got you in this trouble in the first place?
Perhaps a review of your approach sometimes? Just a thought...
Let the dust settle a little first on this occasion? I do hope you manage to patch things up!!
I do believe flexibility is called for sometimes, yes. Compromise? Yes. Accomodating the other person? Yes. But the very core of your being? Possibly not......
Fortunately, I have now met someone that simply doesn't want me to change.... flaws and faults included!!
Bizarre, isn't it? But then.... I couldn't be luckier! He's a darling.....
1. He says all the right things at the right time. It’s hard to think someone is a scum when they are telling you that you are pretty, and smart, and that they really, really like you.
2. He does small things that make you think he cares. However, if you start to notice, these small gestures don’t really cost him very much.
3. He is good looking.
4. Being with someone who is not quite right is better than being alone.
Very good points.
My personal experience with the guy I was seeing up to Christmas:
1. Yes indeed. Lip-service is cheap. Making an actual effort is the deciding factor.
2. Yes again. No real substance comes from the effortless stuff.
3. Not necessarily. Those who are not good looking will have to fall back on manipulation/strategy.
4. No, no, no. One deserves better and in putting up with a sub-standard relationship only delays the inevitable and prolongs the agony? Strive for what you know is right, what FEELS right?
Yes, that's the kind of rain I like. Also, lying on the grass looking skyward, sun on my face, making shapes out of the clouds. Making daisy chains, doing the buttercup test, piggy-backs, pillow fights.......
We seem to grow out of those sort of things and its a shame. Release the child still within on occasions maybe?
I think its all in the phrasing, my friend. COULD leniency be a weakness? Yes. However, IS leniency a weakness? No, not necessarily.
I believe in being steadfast and resolute where needed, yes, but absolute rigidity? More than likely, no.
That has been proven time and again to not work for the greater good and, besides, there is much to be said for setting by example, n'est pas? Its a fine judgement call indeed.......
