be gentle, be soft, be compassionate, be kind, be aware...mentally, physically, sexually

  • Must be willing to compromise at times.
  • Be willing to sit, "be" with uncomfortable feelings/situations without trying to resolve them in a matter of moments.
  • Try not to filter every decision, and actions taken by others through the lense of your own life experience.
  • Know the value of silence, and listening.

* I have not mastered the above

Relationship
 
Treat her like a lady!

girl_dee 11-20-2012 05:24 PM

i won't be treating my partner like a "lady", whatever that means but i do respect her as a butch woman!

girl_dee 11-20-2012 05:29 PM

Shy away from validating your partner for them, to me it seems unauthentic when one person tries to sell someone, or the relationship to the rest of the world. That can often come back to bite. Rejoice and be happy about it, but there is a such thing as going overboard.

Don't be so willing to make them "fit". Differences are ok, unless they push your boundaries too far.

Don't be the one to do all the work. If you are carrying the load, you should think about that.

Be excited when your partner tells you she is making a scarf for you in your fav basketball team's colors. (Even when it is her first "knitting" experience and you both know that it probably won't be that good.)


girl_dee 11-20-2012 05:34 PM

Enjoy face to face dinner, no electronics or distractions.

Actually be present.

DamonK 11-20-2012 05:55 PM

Don't forget to date.
Remember the reasons why you fell in love in the first place.
Know that hard times happen, and be willing to wait it out.
Know your limits and boundaries.
Even when upset at one another, make sure your love is still known.

girl_dee 11-20-2012 06:08 PM

Do a jigsaw puzzle together, it's a blast!!!

Fatale 11-20-2012 09:03 PM

Unclench...

I'm no relationship expert, but one thing that I feel is pretty important
is to just keep your attitude in check. If your always down on something, spewing judgementalness, and just have a generally bad attitude towards others or life in general, it's a complete turn-off.

The more you nurture the negativity, the more negative you become. :angry:

This is SO true. No fun to be around someone like this. Thank you for the reminder!

Easier said then done.....right

Greco 12-14-2012 08:59 AM

Direct
 
Honesty, Honesty, Honesty, and Directness. And get it, Honesty.

Then a relationship with me can begin, in friendship, real friendship, then we'll see. I don't do the "masks", life and friendship is too precious to waste time with anything less.

So, what to do in a relationship? Start with Honesty.

Expectance is good too, as long as you communicate that..

Freudian!

Yes, and so are the majority of things in life.

DamonK 12-17-2012 10:11 AM

Laugh until you cry
Be there for the other
Make sacrifices for the other
Love with all you are

Random 12-17-2012 10:25 AM

Scritch their head, or their back, or what ever spot makes them go... oh...yah...

Encourage them to cry if they need it... Sometimes everyone needs a good cry...

Support them... how ever they need that support...

Blue_Daddy-O 03-16-2013 01:13 PM

Communicate. Communication is THE key.

I use to interview couples when I was lots younger, who had been together for over 50 years or more. And I would ask them, how did you make it.

The majority of them replied:

Number #1 - Communication. We listen to each others opinions. And we can agree to disagree.

Also, I often heard, "I married my best friend"

These couples still smiled at each other in that loving way when looking at each other and talking about each other.

Communication, is the road to success or failure in ANY relationship. It definitely has been in mine.

kittygrrl 03-16-2013 01:21 PM

whispers in the dark are amazing (in their place) but seldom mean as much as what is said & done in the cold light of day. It's just my opinion that it is only in this light you will perhaps see what you truly have and what you do not

girl_dee 03-16-2013 05:10 PM

find happy mediums :)

KayCee 03-16-2013 05:19 PM

To be loyal

girl_dee 03-16-2013 06:51 PM

own your shit. .........:blush:

Bard 03-16-2013 06:58 PM

be each-others safe place

girl_dee 03-16-2013 07:01 PM

don't say things that you don't mean

Bard 03-16-2013 07:09 PM

listen to each other take the time to enjoy the simple things like the sound of her heart beating when you hold her close at night , the feel of her skin next to yours

you're so right, it can ruin a good thing..

chai~ 03-16-2013 07:14 PM

ensure you guard your "me time", and make sure your partner has their "me time".

relax......for goodness sakes, clinging too tightly makes someone like me bolt.

if you live together, whenever you get up ask, "hun, can I get you anything while I'm up?"

Enchantress 03-16-2013 07:20 PM

Always be:
 
Honest
Present
Compassionate
Gentle
Yourself (never lose your own identity)
Independent
Encouraging
and
Respectful.

They'll take you far.

~ocean 03-16-2013 07:28 PM

~ dont relive the past ~ live in the today ~ forgive and accept ~ make love BUT have sex often ~ :) ** wink wink **

Venus007 03-16-2013 07:38 PM

Know yourself, and be self aware, the older I get the more I see how important this is

Talon 03-16-2013 09:25 PM

Love with an open heart...innocently like a child, yet with *everything* that you possess.

~ocean 03-17-2013 11:17 AM

~ in my own opinion : ~ I have only been in love 2x's ~ I don't fall in lust ~ I have loved but not in love ~ being a spiritual being I belive God puts ppl in our paths for a reason ~ don't forget how you met ~ what your partner has given to u ~ spirtiualy ~ and what u have given back to them ~ cherrish your connection ~ honor ~ respect eachother ~
(even tho in an arguemnet words get said ) ~ thats how I know my love for hym is endless ~ noone can take hys place ~ I submitt to hys strength ~ follow hys lead ~ I'm not perfect ~ hys guidence keeps me focused ~ my love and devotion I give to only hym ~ realtionships need to be worked on ~ seasoned ~ I will always love hym ~ even if .......~

little_ms_sunshyne 03-17-2013 11:36 AM

*Be a good listener.

*Reflect and grow together.

*Pick your battles. Some are just not worth having.

*Forgive. I can struggle with this one. I have experienced lots of hurt and
sometimes it is just hard to forgive those that add to that hurt.

*Don't forget the Romance.

*Be affectionate. Love and Lust...have those moments of pure "rip your clothes off" passion.

But then again, what do I know! lol

girl_dee 03-17-2013 11:40 AM

live a reality based life.

Listen even when you're angry.

Love and put yourself first.
