what NOT to do in a relationship.......

Darbonaire · 10-20-2012, 08:16 AM

Be afraid to ask questions before making life changing decisions

Be willing to move somewhere you dislike to please someone else.

Give up your own needs trying to get them from the other person.

Allow the other person to assume they "know" you...they most likely do not know who you truly are, & don't assume you know them.

Lie about anything...not who you are, what you want, what's important to you, what IS ok & what isn't...but mainly don't ever lie to yourself.

My favorite saying is: If it never got any better than it is RIGHT now.....is it good enough? If you can't answer yes....then you better be examining why & making some decisions for yourself...cause, NOW is all any of us truly have.

Let me quote the pompous doctor in Terms of Endearment, as he breaks the bad news to Shirley MacLaine that her daughter is dying:

"Expect the best, but prepare for the worst."

Just kidding.

Carry on.

Had to learn this one the hard way:

Don't try to talk about anything of substance while football is on.

Yes learning that lesson helped me know.... next one wasn't going to be a football fanatic. I just couldn't help myself and no need to frustrate anyone needlessly.

The ironic thing about this is.... in this relationship I AM more of a football fanatic!! But we aren't home on Sundays anyhow....so it does no harm

Don't give up too soon, or stay too long.

(And just when you think you know where those two points of demarkation lie, the rules will change—so consider this advice useless!)
