what i'm saying is that if the two concerned individuals (that seem to me more like two poor hard workers...oh my ) have similar attitude towards *any* commitment, they *will* put the effort we're talking about without the need of the specific, purposed motivation...
i guess, i'm a person that will try to lift a car even if i don't belief i can accomplish that...i may just enjoy trying to do so...
i think this is the point where we "speak different languages"...
i get what you're saying about the effort to make work a relationship...
what i consider not so valid is the motivation that you want to put behind this effort that is "being terribly confident **in principle** in romantic relationship"
i just think that it depends more upon individual's character/personality rather that on his/her believing in romantic relationship...
i don't think romantic relationships are much different of any other task in life, therefore, i, personally, don't care much about the strong belief in romantic relationship of my potential partner rather than about his general attitude...
what you said means that it is about the acceptance of other individual as you have doubts if your mom accepts you as a person ....which is different from the emotional bond
but it relates to what i was saying about the freedom to be the way we are "inside" the family and be accepted...
in my case,having my son was my choice but i didn't "choose" his personality's traits...
though i could say that i tried to influence them, somehow, by loving him and taking care of him while he was a little boy...
now, that he is 22 yrs old we are two adults that communicate and respect each other's choices on the base of the strong emotional bond...
yep, the factors that define an individual's identity have been always fascinating...how much are they external...
but i consider the question "dangerous" as it attempts to border the freedom of others to be the way they are while in emotional connections (meaning family in this case)
nope, i don't wonder if it is worth to open up...when i feel the need to be open up with someone, i'll do it...though i'm naturally reserved, therefore it doesn't happen much...
but..i see it more like my need to talk about something that puzzles me...then...if the person i talk to openly, "betrays" me it becomes, somewhat, another thing...it's their action and we cannot control actions of other people...though, of course, we can try to limit the possibility of it happening
it's a bit like driving..you are asked to keep the safety distance from other cars to, possibly, prevent bumping in them because of their unexpected move... but the accidents still happen
