Commandments or Relationships and Friendships
Mood:
incredulous
Ok, i dont understand some relationships...seriously i do NOT.
I've been thru enough lousy friendships and relationships to know there are certain rules to be followed....
- There IS such a thing called HONEYMOON period.
Yanno that period when couples just get together? The sweetest period ever =) IT would be nice to spend this time getting to know each other more...the revelation of hand holding..hugging...kissing....or just spending time together....that is precious...and NO, it is NOT a lack of independence or watever shyt u guys conjure up if all the girl is asking for more time together during this period.
- Give and take
This applies to ALL relationships, be it friendship or BGR. It's great to have your girlfriend meet your friends etc at times, but it would be greater if you
can do it back for her. DO not expect her to adjust her schedule and lifestyle for her if you cannot do it for her. Don't make her sit at home all the time, wondering when u will call etc. That is just selfish.
Remember that she would also like to introduce you to her friends sometimes so don't give that fuckin excuse that 'you wanna know her better first before meeting friends'...if you give that excuse, don't expect her to meet up with YOUR friends all the time.
- COmplaints
Please do NOT , i repeat, do NOT complain about her to her friends, give her that respect; afterall her friends are HER friends, and who the hell do u tink you are to complain and whine about her when you only known her for a short period of time and her friends know her much longer???
'If you cant take the heat, get the fuck out of the kitchen'
- COntrol & change
Never NEVER try to control her or change her, especially the latter.
The reason why you guys are together in the first place, should be cuz you like her for her. Why would u wanna change her to suit your lifestyle or character?
Btw, altho she is with you, she is still entitled to go out with her friends without having to report her every movement to you. OH rite, if she says she is in the middle of something with her friends, be it play, eat or just talking, have the BASIC courtesy to say you will call her back or ask her to do so after she is done.
- Nag, Grumble and Respect
This is almost the same as the above...but to me, its more serious sia...
Refrain from nagging or grumbling at her too often; it's really sweet to begin with and it could be concern etc but gawd...after awhile and non-stop nagging etc, it gets ALL TOO TIRING.
MEN SHOULD NOT NAG TOO MUCH, LEAVE THAT TO THE WOMEN, CAN???
Give her the respect that she is an adult and she is mature enough to think for herself.
Showing concern is one thing but fuck...quit while you are ahead!!!
- Comparison and History
Gawd...this is the worst of the lot.
The one thing that everyone hates more than i hate tau-ge, is comparing and digging up ancient relationship history.
Everyone is different and so is every fuckin relationship. If you expect the current relationship to be exactly like the last one, then WHY THE FUCK DID U LEAVE THE LAST ONE????
Do NOT compare ur current GF with your last GF, that is sooo unacceptable.
ANd gawd, please do not dig up ancient history or wrongdoings in arguments, or the quarrel will never end. YOu will just end up feeling bitter abt every damn thing, and the questioning begins.
- Know wen it is over...and walk on...let it go...
I tink this is the last of it....KNow when a relationship is over.
So you have tried 101% and put in all u can, but in the end, its a futile fight; It is time to walk away.
I know it's hard and its really difficult..but who wants to keep flogging a dead horse?
Be it u really like that person and really think he is the one for you, but if he keeps making u misreable and u have lost that spark ur friends love in you...or worse...u losing your friends cuz of him...ask yourself..is it worth it...?
Stop to re-examine the whole situation...is he doing you any good? Both physically and emotionally?
I write the above based on personal experience...I was in the above shoes once...as im sure many of us have...my personal experience, up to today..is something which is very painful..and it still hurts up to today...
I look back sometimes and wonder how I could ever get myself into such situations..but i swore to myself then, and ill swear again...NEVER AGAIN.
Do not ever EVER let anyone step all over you, no matter wat reason or excuse he mite have...at the end of the day...its only you...when teh world comes to an end...YOU will be the only one left standing...think about it...
