But then I think of all the crap she's doing for me & I think I'm extremely lucky.

It's NOT an act. I really do mean it.

Of course I do and the sad part is I know someone women who would be perfect for a relationship like that but of course they are taken like everything else.

Your doubting doesn't make what nick says an act, and besides that, I read just about everything he writes/has written here on WP, I just don't post that often. (I'm nick007's girlfriend if that first sentence wasn't clear enough for you.)

Since I'm posting in this thread I might as well respond to the OP:

I used to wonder what it was like to be in a healthy relationship... I knew what was unhealthy from watching my parents interract. I knew they loved each other but that wasn't enough to make their relationship healthy. I don't have to wonder anymore, though. I do believe I am in a healthy relationship now; communication, compromise, trust, mutual respect and acceptance; key ingredients to health are all present. And my boyfriend and I truly do love each other.

Pretty much.

For a number of years it was pretty darned good and there was some genuine love there... I can't possibly express how much I miss it. :cry:

It allways comes down to the money :roll:

...and yet none of them have stuck around after the sex was over. I wonder how many alpha a$$&0l#$ she'll have to work through before realizing how good she once had it? Not that she would EVER admit it if the realization ever happened... better to make a different "reality" to believe in - one that vindicates her choices instead of vilifying them.

Happens allll the time.

Thats why I don't bother with women I don't trust them , come to think of it I feel the same way about the men to

(slightly less so)

I recently had trust and security issues too

The sad thing is: you push away everyone and then wake up all alone in your [miserable] life...

Dont always trust
your lack of trust....
I must, I must
increase my bust
aussiebloke knows he wants it
but cant stop making
an emotional fuss

Wrong. She's right here reading this. But they seem happy together, so what's the harm

I used to wonder about this, then dream, then be fixated on it, then dream, then wonder, now I don't really wonder about it at all. I'm a lot happier regardless of the outcome because of this.

Yeah, seriously. I swear, you, MightyMorphin, aussiebloke, and a few others I won't name... if you can't shut the hell up and stop forcing your negativity regarding your "forever alone" status on the rest of us who would actually appreciate some real relationship help, then stay the hell out of the L&D forum. It's that f***ing simple.

While you are free to disagree with them, I don't understand why you are so angry about it. Their views are probably based off their own bad experiences, but its just their opinion. There's no need to be so aggressive and abusive towards them, they aren't declaring it as fact.

Anyway, my view is there is no such thing as a perfect relationship. A healthy relationship is reliant on mutual respect, understanding, and trust with that person. Without those factors, a relationship can't really work. It comes down to compromise as well, we all have our flaws that people can tolerate or drive them crazy.
