Be honest enough to admit when it's your skeletons from the past not me or my behaviour that have caused you to act a certain way.:canoworms: I am your new beginning and although I'm not perfect, I'm not them.

Don't take your current frustrations with others/life out on me. I will love you and support you and, if necessary, even fight for you, but that ''Well who else can I take it out on'' is the biggest cop out there is. Shout, curse, cry, do whatever it takes to get it out of your system and I'll be there to support you...I won't, however, be your emotional punchbag.:seeingstars:

Don't ever presume to know what I feel. If I no longer love you or want to be with you, I will tell you. Promise. For now, though, take it for granted that you are the love of my life and will be until the day I die:rrose:

And finally....my thinking you're the sexist thing on two legs is conditional on your never, ever, doing the following:

1. Taking a crap with the bathroom door open.:blowingitup:

2. Scratching anywhere south of your navel and higher than the hem of your boxers.:wtf:

3. Allowing your belching/farting to reach deafening proportions. Yes, we all 'do it' (some of us, I might add, with more decorum than others *ahem*) but could we at least keep the decibel level to low? And no, I don't care how comfortable you are in our relationship, I do not consider excessive belching/farting a sign of your deep and lasting affection for me. (Do some people actually fall for that?):confused:

And one more thing. Plenty of this :eatinghersheybar:...and these... :blueheels:...and this :bedfuck: might just make me turn a blind eye to your infatuation with Glee, that crazy online gardening thing over on Facebook, and mismatched underwear. Perhaps. They will never however replace your smile, your smell, or how I feel when you reach for my hand. The first group of things I enjoy...the second group I adore.

Words

Don't repeatedly make promises that you have no idea at all how to keep.

Thinking about how it might be better for me to focus on what to do in a relationship. Trying to stay in the here & now. What applied in the past... is past!!

Wishing the very best to everyone that has taken that leap of faith and are doing the best possible in their relationship. Darn things are a work in progress!

Yup, I'm just wanting to support love and my people (BF Planeteers!!!)...

Don't..
 

Don't give your girls dog away..
when she's away..
and expect everything to be ok..
when she gets home..
from being away..

Since addiction issues are widespread in our society, this comes up a lot. The co-dependency/enabling stuff can really kick in for some of us. You hit it on the head- the addiction is the priority unless someone is willing to deal with it.

I have certainly seen many folks deal with their addictions and be able to have good relationships- but it has to do with them being ready and yes, not in denial.

I can be a "fixer" and have learned to pay attention to this in myself- it has not served me well. I caqn't fix someone else- only me.

Don't forget to give and forgive.

Don't forget to pay attention and appreciate.

Don't forget - people come as-is.

I'm a cheese addict. It's a sad life. But thankfully I'm loved. Though I think she might be catching my cheese addiction. Mmmm feta.

Do not !!
 

-♦-If you plan to travel, take a break..Maybe visit friends....?
LET THE PERSON KNOW....
Don't just disappear for MONTHS, and show up expectin' cuddles, kisses and everything in its usual spot..
Yes, Love should be timeless, but then...after the first few months, u can't blame me if I start asking "wtf?!?!"

-♦-Don't expect mind-reading, I'm as good in said talent as you are when u see my obviously not-too-happy glance and u're clueless as to why.

-♦-If you kick, shove or sprawl out in your sleep(feeding me a sleepy foot somehow beyond my comprehension), don't be baffled when u see me sleeping in the spare room.

-♦-If I know I'm right, and I still "inherit" the Couch, please...
The next Morning?
Don't ask what was so fucking funny the previous night, after you slammed and locked the bedroom door. It's called TV, satellite and DVD options. Believe me, we Both suffer when I'm in the "doghouse"....But, you have books{and maybe a 'power tool'}, and I have late night "shows"{..maybe cinemax}.

-♦-If you wash dishes, or flush the Toilet, while I'm in the Shower...?
Don't come rushing, almost knocking the bathroom door down, scared shitless cuz I just let out a very rare high pitched painful Scream....

-♦-If you're "hearing"{as in Not-Deaf}, and this vital...
pay attention, pleez...
If you say "never mind", after your failed attempt at explaining something 3 times, we will have a problem.
I understand it's frustration galore for you, imagine My frustration in not having a clue.
Do not get pissed off when I'm rapidly "Signing" with a Deaf Femme {maybe boi} and they giggle, if you ask "what?" and I try to explain, and you're still clueless, welcome to my world...k?

-♦-You like Romantic Comedies, chick Flicks...
I like suspense, Horror {some gore} and Psych Thriller, let us not debate this, I'll sit thru Adam Sandler & Drew Barrymore when you sit through Matt Damon and Forest Whitaker.

-♦-Oh, and share the popcorn, pookie.

:praying: [namaste !!!!]

when you look out on the horizon and see a tantrum coming in,every flippen day?..never a good sign..:|
