This is a powerful article. Maybe it can help someone or couples who want to make things work. Please take the time to read and if you love your partner - show them. You never know when the end is near should you decide to ignore the signs. That is, if you want to make it work. When you love someone, yes youre taking a chance but that is what life is all about. If you dont take a chance, then you are not living at all. One foot in and one foot out to save face because fear of heartache...it doesnt work that way. Some other things that should be listed: 1. Amazingly, say one thing and do another should be listed too. It is a weird feeling when someone doesnt talk to you or has nothing to say after being away from each other for days but yet says that they are so in love with you on the phone while they are away. It is not a good feeling to know that your partner cant get one word from you when the rest of the world can get an instant response at the drop of a dime. 2. Too many times situations can be avoided by simply opening up and not pushing your partner off until the other feels ready. A partner is not the enemy while befriending and opening up to others. As a woman, I know what heartache is like and I am so happy that I endured it a time or two because I promised myself moving forward the things that I USED to do, I will not do with the next person. And I am proud of myself because I have kept my word. No one ever wants to feel foolish nor feel heartache. But at least feeling heartache one time can definitely make someone reflect on themselves and appreciate things better. 3. Being away for a while and coming home to then not even say hello isnt a good start either. Working on what you have...I should say, what you WANT is vital. If its no longer wanted, expressing that is just as important. It is amazing how quick a relationship can die by placing more care about the image portrayed and what others think than how your partner actually feels and what your partner wants. It doesnt work that way. 4. Dont be the first to speak about change if you cant do it yourself. Partners should not do the tit for tat (you changed your pic so I am going to change mine or because youre going out tonight, I am going to go out of town for days too! Or removing and adding back the relationship status.) When did this become a competition? This is ridiculous. It is not right to preach on what youd like to see change if it is not reflected by you either. Something I learned from my nephew who was probably only 6 at a time...he said, Dont talk about it, be about it. That was 10 years ago and I still remember it because it was so powerful even though he didnt have the slightest idea about the value of what he spoke about. 5. Acceptance of the other persons flaws is important. We all have them but it doesnt make them a bad person. Open up, express your feelings about it and come up with ideas on how to manage them. 6. Age doesnt always make you a wiser person. Age does show that youve been on this earth longer but it doesnt mean youve experienced as much as someone else has. Someone who has been broken before in many ways than one can open up your eyes to some things. Acceptance of that is what is important, even if they are younger than you. Love is important among family and friends. Tomorrow is never promised. Always keep that in mind.
