Relationships

I see so much of the old me in her. It hurts a little sometimes, because she is suffering and going through what I nearly went through. All relationships require a compromise of give-and-take, on top of trust, understanding, communication, effort, passion. Both parties have to really communicate so that your other half knows exactly what you are thinking and feeling. Just because he's your boyfriend, he's supposed to know what you really mean when you say "Nothing."? Or she has been your girlfriend for so long, she knows what you have been doing even in your own private time? It's small misunderstandings and the lack of communication and trust that spark off fires in relationships. You can't totally stop an argument, but you can resolve it as soon as possible and coming up with the best solution together. If the couple doesn't talk at all, how to solve?!

Thank God I have found him. I am such a hothead and temperamental person and although I don't get angry frequently now, I'm still unable to control my emotions sometimes. He, on the other hand, is always calm and rational, always trying to think of practical and sensitive solutions that will suit both of us. Whenever a quarrel happened, he was always the one holding me back and asking me to cool down to discuss and look at the entire situation. We complement each other huh? :P Now, though, I'm becoming more clear-headed and he's the one with sudden bursts of emotions on rare occasions. Lol I think I have passed my bad habits to him :X But nonetheless, I believe we will always be able to talk things through properly and neither of us go to sleep at night being unhappy and thinking about the problem.

Another point I have managed to overcome (but have not fully overcome) is spending time on your own or with your own friends. I used to be so unstable that I always wanted to spend our free time together. He was ok with it at first, but after a while, he couldn't take it anymore. I think it goes for every guy too, and maybe girls also. Once you can't breathe properly, you won't enjoy yourself in the relationship anymore. Apart from spending time with each other, one has to spend time with God, family, oneself, own friends; and to also set aside time for studies, church, recreation activities, work etc. We argued a lot about this and kept talking and discussing. Today, I am ok with him spending time with his friends, although sometimes I tagged along too. (eh, his friends and him asked me to go also what! :X) And in my own free time, I enjoy spending time alone with God and with my family and relatives. I'm glad we have striked a balance, but I feel it's not good enough. Seeing what is happening now, it makes me want to do more, to become even better, to be the best he's ever had. =)
