Relationships - What things do you want & need?
What things do you need to make a relationship last? What things do you look for in a potential partner and why? What things will you NOT tolerate from a relationship?
For me.. relationships are alot of work.. and it takes 2 devoted people to work at it.. relationships are NOT one sided.. there is always 2 sides.. always 2 people (in most cases) *gryn and always twice the amount of work.. working toward life goals and decisions.. To make a relationship last I would require the following things.. * friendship * open communication - keeps the relationship alive - ask for what you want and need from each other * loyalty & trust - without this you don't have anything * hard work and dedication - can lead to a lifetime of happiness * faith - in the both of us that we are in this together for the long haul I look for these things in a potential partner.. * friendship * Love - because it is not just about the good times - love endures all * Respect - because without it there can only be hurt and pain * Honesty - because without that you don't have trust * Trust - because you will make life decisions together or for each other and you have to trust in those decisions * Monogamy - because I don't like to share emotionally * Morals, Values & Integrity - because it shows true strength of character I will NOT tolerate the following from a partner or a relationship.. * Dishonesty - because it hinders trust and you need that to succeed * Cheating - because it hurts the soul and kills the love * Disrespect - because it makes you feel belittled and used * Abuse - in any form, be it, mental, physical, emotional etc. Because it is WRONG - and makes you feel unimportant and harms your sence of self worth These are my thoughts and perceptions on potential partners and relationships.. I would like to hear your thoughts as well in case I have something new to learn or something new to add to my list.. I posted this some time ago on another site.. but thought it would do well here so I brought it over! *hugs* Rogue |
