Relationships.

I recently spoke of relationships as in boy meets girl. Well really I should just speak of relationships in general. It all amounts to the same things. If you have troubles in a romantic relationship, more than likely you have troubles in all relationships. Communication.

People also seem to be able to speak more freely to a stranger. Hence shrinks and/or affairs. Not neccessarily sexual affairs but a secret friend. someone who doesn't show that judging or disappointed face. Someone who knows nothing of the other side. just your side and can agree with you totally and completely. They validate your feelings. where your spouse would say..."well that's because you......" How does one communicate to a loved one as they communicate with a stranger? I thought loved ones are there to hold you when you cry. not get frustrated. a stranger is more patient. a stranger is more sympathetic.

as I proofread my about statements. I am saddened. for I feel it is true. How does one learn to be as open and honest with the ones close to them. and how is that loved one to accept and validate that person's feelings just cause you love them.

At the same time where is the line. where you say I am not a mushroom, and insecurties become obsession?

12 yr relationship Is it really over?

Wow. after 12 yrs of a rollercoaster relationship. I think it's finally over for good. Where does one begin? It's like being reborn. A chance for a make over. sigh.

But where.....
