Hi All,
Some really sad relationship stories here.
Kathy,and I have been Married,for over 32 years,
And in the early days,had some very difficult times.
Mostly, due to an unwillingness,to give an inch.
We were both right,allways.
I read a very interesting article,many years ago,which stated.
A lot of broken relationships,are caused by MISUSED,OR, LACK of money.
For EG.
Statement no.
1,
HER, You left the toilet seat up AGAIN, AND,you havent mowed the lawn, AGAIN,etc,etc
REAL MEANING,
You bought a new eyepiece/whatever,and they have cut off our power,
and I cant get my Hair done.
Statement no.
2,
HIM,The steak was tough AGAIN,the sink is full of dishes,AGAIN,etc,etc.
REAL MEANING,
You bought a new pair of shoes/Whatever,and I cant go fishing tomorrow,OR,down to the Pub/buy that eyepiece,etc,etc
Who cares about the Electricity,
Light a candle.
From what I read,Many years ago, this is pretty typical for a Relationship,heading for Failure.
Compromise,Understanding,and a willingness to GIVE IN,now ,and again,
Makes the Difference.
Of course,if YOU,or YOUR Partner,is NOT prepared,to GIVE IN,now,and then,
You are better off away,from each other.
Am I a happy man,Damn Right.
BUT,only because,after 5,or 10 years,of conflict,we were LUCKY,enough to finally come to a COMPROMISE, Understand,and Actually Care,for each other.
We are NOW,Inseparable.
We have 2 "Kids",one 32, one 30,and 5 Grandkids
Just My Thoughts.
Regards.
John
