When do you run for the hills in your relationship?
It's plan and simple sometimes. When you notice you are becoming more like a friend then a partner. When you notice that you are staying at home alone more then you have at the beginning. Once you see that your phone stop ringing and more texting then before. Less touching and more excuses on why they can't see you. Start closing the chapter on that relationship because it's over.
Have you been through this?
There is no amount of "work" or "communication" that can overcome being with someone who does not want what you want.
The goal is to find someone who shares your same values, wants the same things for the relationship that you do, naturally agrees with you on how to obtain those things, and last but not least there is a mutual depth of love and desire for one another.
We're either growing together or growing apart. Once you realize you're at a fork in the road you have a decision to make.
There are only two ways to experience joy and peace of mind in relationships: We either get what we want or we learn to be happy with what we have. Stay or move on. The choice is up to us.
Staying and expecting someone to become who they are not is unrealistic. Very few people are walking around with a hand up in the air yelling; "I'm looking for someone to change me!"
Most people want to be loved and accepted for who (they) are. Anyone who is unhappy in a relationship and (chooses) to stay is by default choosing to be unhappy.
Each of us (chooses) our own friends, lovers, and spouse.
If we're unhappy we need to learn to make better choices for ourselves!

What do you think of little boys with really long hair?I have seen some little boys at the playground with really long hair. I understand the "surfer" look but what if it's covering the poor boy's eyes? What would you think if you saw that?

I'm kinda new to this forum but in reading through some of the threads on religion I was amazed at the spectrum of theories and beliefs. In all of what I read, which wasn't ALL the topics, I didn't see this question posed by anyone, so I thought I would present it. Feel free to reply as you wish, I...
