I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

I wasn't really looking for "relationship advice" because you all probably don't know me well enough to be able to offer advice for my particular situation. I was hoping to discuss some larger philosophy of relationships, though this does have application to me. I'm pretty sure every relationship is at most a particular relationship. So I don't have any general advice to offer even if you were asking. I do think people blow romance up all out of proportion to its significance. Life has a way of coming to feel 'right for me' no matter which way it turns out. But I do know this. I like being in a relationship with someone who has all the dirt on me and vice versa. I figure if I can live with me it can't be too much to ask someone else to do the same.

Here is someone who has done some research into relationship. Don't agree with all of it but certainly food for thought.

It makes me crack a smile. Hearing someone else say the worst of what I may be thinking makes me realize that I don;t really believe it to be true. Well, it ain't something I'm afraid of. Before my last long-term, I lived for ten+ years as an outside cat, and while there's sure a sweetness to being in lifelong love, there's a joy in not having to answer to anyone for things, and I like my freedom. Just sometimes it doesn't fill the other niches I want. I'm a realist. I don't believe that there's any Other Half out there for me, only that I could find the gal I spend the rest of my life with tomorrow, or I could never find her at all. And I'm cool with that. It might have read as morose, but it's not. It's just realism given voice. Do I believe any of it to be true? Shit, I don't know what the next five minutes holds, much less the next five months or years. |
