Lovely article!
My observations have shown me that time itself is not a good test. I did things "right" with my ex-husband, knew him for three years before we got married, and he changed the moment the vows were said and I began to see the narcissistic control-freak I lived with for the next 9 years.
Then, there are people who found each other, fell in love immediately and were still together...
And high school sweethearts that I knew in school, who married early and are still together.
But as you point out, communication is the main thing - when people stop talking, they stop understanding each other and that's when things go bad...
I'm glad you took care of that!
I found your post thanks to @rembertomarsada's Pay it Forward Curation Contest entry. Keep up the great work!
Hello there. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I'm happy you liked it. Sorry I couldn'd answer earlier.
To continue with this topic, I guess relationships work in a very different way for everyone. I've been in this relationship for seven years and sometimes it feels like a rollercoaster. We just dated for eight months before we actually started our relationship and it worked perfectly to get to know each other. We are still working things out.
Have agreat day.
