The 3 Things I No Longer Do In Dating & Relationships

  • I don't future trip or wonder and worry about what we will be, what will happen next
    I don't bring to my partner my 'problems with them' until I have sat and processed fully on my side, what I'm making it all mean and worked through my reactive state to one that is responsive
    I don't insist my partner meet my wants or needs- I work on doing that for myself and meet my partner where they are

    Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.

      its difficult to let go of someone you love, i was in a similar situation, my relationship of 12 years ended, but i couldnt just let him go i did all i could to get him back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual counselor who helped me bring him back

    Re the 3rd:: A wise friend said the key to a successful marriage? Having other friends!
    do not expect to get everything from your partner.
    Don’t even expect to get half from your partner
    look to your other friends to fill your life just as much as your partner plays a part in it, not all of it.
    Still have high expectations, but less.

    I also have made a girl mad because she wanted us to go out , I told her sure as long as your paying . She got mad and said why do I got to pay ? I said did I ask you out ? No .

    Long term relationships/marriage is no longer a realistic option for about 90% of the population. From a man’s perspective, the road goes two ways. We have just as big of a concern as women do. In my case I maintain my own home and finances and see one or two women when I want. The risk of entering into a cohabitation with a woman is too great of a risk and the benefits are practically nil. The beauty of having my own place is I can easily live on my own and if I want a companion, I can get a dog.
