A Matter Of Trust?

So what exactly is a relationship, and what does it entail? Yes, yes, a certain amount of "trust" is essential, but how much trust is too much? When does all that trust turn into naive gullibility? It's all fine and dandy to say "baby, I love you, and I trust you with my life". But would you really trust someone that much?

I do believe a degree of leniency when it comes to holding on to your personal beliefs and opinions is vital, so that a relationship might survive. Give a little to get a little. You can't always have it your own way when you're in a relationship. Remember, there's at least 2 different sides, and you have to be willing to see things from the other persons perspective. Dont always be yanking the rope your way. Lose once every now and then. Make sacrifices. Isn't that what relationships are about? Giving a little of yourself for the people you care for?

When does your giving end up in losing your sense of self, your individuality?

Stop seeing the world through rose-colored glasses for a second, stop being all mushy lovey dovey and answer me this:

Ladies: if you got married, would you want to be a co-signer with your husband, so that your house legally belongs to you, just as much as it belongs to him?

Gents: would you think of it as a trust issue if your wife asked you to do something like that?

Special someone: Odd how you say you're a man of your word. That your word is your bond. That your word is as good as any written legal statement.
Your word to me was that you'd do anything for me. You'd give me the world. Seems as though someone's broken their word already haven't they?


Remember: If we all knew how things would end in our relationships, we probably wouldn't have started them.

Key word here is compromise. Compromise, compromise, compromise!
