Mutuality

[Sinnerdragon]

Aw... this is happening again! Mutuality's a beautiful concept... through our lives, we're too busy creating non-existant problems, in place to search to live in the best way possible. Marriages are more like work contract than love unions. If only people could live sexuality in the right way, they wouldn't be so eager to tear his/hers better-half throat...
I'm getting sentimental, , I think I

newness were's off.. it's true! *points to the bed behind her*

But were the newness weres off.. something else grows

I live with my mate since almost ten years, and I can assure that's always something new to discover...

you're only as bored as you want to be... I believe that most children of divorced parents are more likely to divorce than children of parents who stay together, that could be because children of divorced parents might not think that marriages can always work. I dunno tho... it seems to make sense of the surface..

...As if it's somehow inevitable that couples have to stop loving each other and start attacking each other...

newness were's off... it's true!

Our predicessors have made it so easy for us to seperate that we go too quickly from "I hate what you've done." to "I quit." It seems that there is no time left for "I'm sorry." and "I forgive you." Our instant gratification lifestyles don't give us the time to reflect and say "I really want to stay with you".

My squirrel girl and I began our journey with the commitment that we did not believe in divorce. Hers more from a religious commitment and mine from knowing the responsibility of rasing children. We have four beautiful girls and will celebrate 21 years of marriage this November 27. Do we argue and get mad at each other? Yes, from time to time, but we still love each other. After 21, years the newness is not there, the yiffing is not as frequent, but the love is strong as ever. Our journey is based on friendship and I wouldn't give a minute of it up.

True mutuality must have it's basis in friendship and trust. Just remember the three phrases "I'm sorry.", "I forgive you.", and "I really want to stay with you". Don't let the nay-sayers get to you.

Ruff!

Love always grows where there is fertile soil.

It was not my intention to exclude your point. But the newness does wear off and some couples do not know how to deal with it. They have based their relationship on the excitement the newness brings. Without friendship and trust, the soil is barren.

yes there is! as well as rediscovering some old things. ^.^

when we moved in together, we stopped emailing things
to each other. no need to, we thought.. hey we're right
here in the same apartment, no need to mail each other
anything, right? but we found we missed having those
little things in each other's mailbox, so we started doing
it again!

i think it really has to do with who the people in
question are, and how they feel toward each other
more than anything else. personally, i'm doing nothing
but looking forward to our future together! ^.^

hm...I think this means I'm DOOMED! I'm not only a son of divorced parents but also have absolutely no knowledge about any sort of relationship with females...I only had ONE female friend in my whole RL and I was just too stupid and coward on not telling her about my feelings! Damn! Maybe I should look for a hole (like that one in the first KnK comic) to fall in and stay there forever!

Man, I hope you don't, ItaX... because I was in a 'hole' that
was deeper than that one, a long time ago, after my first GF
left me... and if I hadn't been able to recover I never would've
met my Shirlee... and I wouldn't be living so happily ever after
now.
