All of the above is true Titan. People can make or break any relationship there is. One little ounce of distrust and the whole thing can fall to pieces. I hope they read your write and pay attention.

Thanks for this great review. Everything you said is true - it's up to the parties involved to make any relationship work.

Brooke, thanks so much for your review. I appreciate your thoughtful comments. I was not sure how such an article would be perceived, but the ratings have all been positive.
Comment from Curtis Hatch
The relationships between two people are complicated at best. It is never a 50-50 relationship as you point out. I remember an elderly lady giving my fiance and me so advise. She said that if you are willing to give 75% and expect 25% in return, you will be much happier, and you will find your partner will usually reciprocate.
I find no fault with the points you made in the story. I thought were quite accurate with your analysis. Excellent job...Curtis

Comment from Spiritual Echo
Very well written essay.
Sometimes being in the audience makes it much easier to see the entire stage.
Does she have the same cycle with women friends?

Thanks, Spiritual Echo! Your review is most encouraging. I had some reservations about posting this article, but decided to post it and see what happens. The reviews have all been positive!! As for this individual, she has very few female friends. I discovered she has a "people's problem" and will go on having issues with both men and women. There's truth in the old adage that says, "sometimes we are our own worst enemies." It definitely applies to her, and she does not seem to know how to change, which is unfortunate. Have a blessed day, my friend.

This is excellent self-improvement. I wish I had a relationship to actually use your advice. I don't know how to have a relationship. They're just suppose to happen. And go along smoothly. Something better work for me. I've thought about those naked couple candles. If only I knew where to find them.
Anyways, I enjoyed your article. It's very Psychology Today. Excellent work.

Thanks, sunnilicious! I love giving advice and have written quite a few articles on my other site that have been well-received. Some have even been purchased. I had some reservations about posting this one, but I simply dove in and did it - lol. The next time you find a man that piques your interest, you should get in touch with me right away, and we'll discuss some tips that will keep him around for a while. You have a lot to offer, my friend, so never sell yourself short. Have a great day!

You're welcome. Maybe I'll have to schedule a birthday psychic reading in August. Let's see what the clarivoyant has the say instead of a tatoo artist. But there is hope that I'll use your advice. Someday.
Have a nice day!
Comment from Gargantuan2
Good peice, it makes sense and cover quite a bit of ground. If this had been placed as a chapter in a book, I would expect some follow up to specific points. As a stand alone it does well. There is one sentece inconsistancy:
To save face, she convinced herself if it was meant to be, it would have lasted.
To save face, she convinced herself if it was meant to be, it wouldn't have lasted.
The self inflicted negative apparent in the sentence prior to this suggests one should be present here. Minor, but important. Keep writing :)

Comment from Allison78
I think this is a wonderful piece you have written here! I have learned some of these things on my own with my very patient husband and now feel very secure that he really does love me as much as he says he does. This is very helpful information and I'm sure it will help someone. Great job!

Comment from Heaven Bound
Well said. You have some pretty simple and straight-forward wisdom for pretty much any one in a relationship. Maybe you really did become the arm-chair psychologist.
One brief comment. In the 7th paragraph, right near the end is the word "honesty". "Honest" would be the appropriate word. Good job on this.
