ORIGINAL: lateralist1 Thankyou for your contributions everyone. We read so many times of relationships that go sour because people go into them too quickly before they know the person well enough. I have made that mistake in the past and am trying to avoid it in the future. But maybe it just isn't possible to know someone before we commit to them. Maybe the act of commitment helps in the getting to know one another process. perhaps i am more the exception than the rule. I picked up Master in a bar for a one night stand and after a day or so of stalking we haven't been apart sense. Seriously, i moved in after not even knowing him for a month. everything just seem to click, and it's been 15 years of wonderful, getting to know each other, constantly courting each other, always doing the little nice things that say "i was just thinking of you and its my favorite thought" Sure there have been some rocky moments when i thought of packing the silverware but communication and self awareness brought us back together to decide this was worth working on. I have found the most happiness in always looking to please him instead of myself.. its odd how it works that way.. for us anyways. It's important to say what is and is not your fault and be able to correct the things you can to make a better life for yourself. The more honest with him i was, the more honest with me he was which allowed us to open up fully to each other and really let us get to know one another. If you keep yourself guarded behind those walls you'll be lonely. best of luck to you and hope this helps
