If thou dost seek to have what thou dost hide, By self-example mayst thou be denied.
Our lives were now worlds apart, separated by time, circumstance, and the unbridgeable chasm of money.
Everything else has vanished, so you take them now. Maybe if you're the one keeping them, I'll be the one feeling better.
Happy wife, happy life.
Lovers are not snails; they don't have to protrude from their shells and meet each other halfway. Meet me within your own self.
It is with the soul that we grasp the essence of another human being, not with the mind, nor even with the heart.
When we replace a sense of service and gratitude with a sense of entitlement and expectation, we quickly see the demise of our relationships, society, and economy.
I was aware that we were both silently making those inevitable comparisons, putting our relationship in context. She is more this and less that. He is better or worse in these ways. It is human nature to do this--unless its your first relationship, which might be the very reason that your first relationship feels special and remains forever sacred. But the older you get, the more cynical you become, and the more complicated and convoluted the exercise is. You begin to realize that nothing is perfect, that there are trade-offs and sacrifices. The worst is when someone in your past trumps the person in the present, and you think to yourself: if I'd known this, then maybe I wouldn't have let him go.
I believe that it is impossible for two individuals not committed to their own and each other’s well being to sustain a healthy and enduring relationship.
A break up is the closest thing to bereavement
There was a tacit understanding between them that 'liquor helped'; growing more miserable with every glass one hoped for the moment of relief.
Before her marriage she had thought that she had love within her grasp; but since the happiness which she had expected this love to bring her hadn’t come, she supposed she must have been mistaken. And Emma tried to imagine just what was meant, in life, by the words “bliss,” “passion,” and “rapture” - words that had seemed so beautiful to her in books.
You never know who's waiting for you and you never know when love is coming your way or who it might be. But let me just say, a healthy relationship requires SACRIFICE and DEDICATION.
It was a bitter moment for us. We weren't two mature parents. We were just two kids playing grown-up. We still needed Mommy and Daddy's permission, blessings, and money to survive.
I wish I hadn't. I wish I'd fought for you. I was weak and stupid.
There is nothing right or wrong in love. Where there is love, then there is nothing but only love.
Ain't No Drama Like Bedroom Drama
Hereafter she is only my sister in name; not because I disown her, but because she has disowned me.
Failed relationships can be described as so much wasted makeup. Forget the laughs, forget the fights, forget the sex, forget the jealousy. But take off your hat and observe a moment's silence for the legions of unknown tubes of foundation, mascara, eyeliner, blusher and lipstick who died that it might all have been possible. But who died in vain.
why provide relationship benefits to someone who claims they don't want a relationship...
