ORIGINAL: IronBear Relationships are important and in reality we all get into them in one form or another. If any two or more of you spend regular time together on line or not, you are actually in a relationship with those people. What differentiates the relationships is the way we agree it should be.. A casual friendship, a work relationship, causal acquaintances, a vanilla long term (including marriage) relationship, a M/s, D/s and/or BDSM relationship. If you look at a D/s and M/s relationship, I’d have to say that the initial relationship may be not with marriage in mind, but its surprising how many Masters marry their submissives or slaves. What makes a good relationship? My views only ~ Friendship. Respect. Trust. Love. Why did I place love last? Simply because you can love the person some of the time and hate them at others. Love is inconsistent but if you have the other three (Friendship, Respect and Trust) most of the time then in my view you have a jolly good relationship. My thoughts on Love ~ I love deeply a number of people and I can say that if I have a trik in my collar I do love her. Yep I also love a number of guys too.. The love that a man has for his friend, buddy or comrade (especially in a combat team). In Australia its referred to as Mateship, which has been one of the hallmarks with out culture and is most seen in the history of the Anzacs. Having digressed there, loving someone is different than being in love and I may love others but I am In Love with my wife. Love is blind, fragile, a bitch, a flower.... but elusive. Love will bite you in the ass, squeeze the life out of you..... now you can call me "bittersweet" Padriag I would rather BELIEVE in someone than be IN LOVE with them. ~~shy
