What TO DO in a relationship.....

Laugh...often...

Hold hands, look into each others eyes, be grateful for each moment and just be happy! Don't sweat the small silly stuff because it jut takes away from the fun stuff.

One thing that my partner does that no one has ever done for me before is to make me feel whole. I don't know how to explain feeling "whole", but I can describe it as feeling 100% loved, protected, cared for, adored, cherished, honored and worthy. I think anyone in any relationship would want that, and I hope I make her feel the same.

She knows you love her so don't just tell her , let her know why you love her.....

SS

I love you for the woman that you are.....the way you give of yourself to make others happy ( just remember you have to be happy

)....you don't just hear what is being said, you listen..I love that you encourage me to go out and have fun and not be jealous...I love that you are into the mysteries of the world, the unknown ( and now I get to explore with you

)....I love your love of travel....I love the way you smile, how your eyes smile....Okay I could go on and on but I think everyone knows, can see how much I love you

You are My Rare Beauty

Be clear in the difference between "settling" and "accepting."

In one, you compromise on things outside of yourself. In the other, you compromise your self.

I know the difference, and that feels good—but it wasn't easy getting there, to that understanding.

Wow that is SO true!

i feel we all have our own dealbreakers. Each time i ignored them things
went bad. Can't blame someone else because i ignored my own boundaries.

Sometimes i feel (especially in the internet world) when people know your boundaries they can hide those behaviors rather well beause they want it to work.

i don't mind compromise but the settling i cannot do.

If you miss them, or you're thinking about them...tell them how much.

Look both ways before crossing the road. I know this doesn't sound like it goes in this thread, but it does. If you look both ways before you cross the road you won't be blind sided
