Our relationship is good not because it is flawless, but because even when we make mistakes, we work together to overcome them rather than working against each other.

Knight's Kyra Yet in the same token, there are many people here who are also applauding the fact that you had the courage to leave your native country and move several hundred miles to be with the people who want you and obviously care very much about you. We know that all relationships have issues and not all of us are able to overcome them in the best way possible. We hope that the next time around, we look back and learn what not to do.

Good luck with the move.

Thank you, bear and RedMagic. My thoughts on the sentence that I bolded... There are sometimes that I think the best possible way to resolve issues in a relationship is to end the relationship. I don't think all relationships are meant to be long term. Many times people enter our lives to help us learn the lessons we need to learn. Sometimes those lessons can feel pretty brutal and I have had my fair share of those. Hopefully, we learn what we need to and can move on. Hope you have a great weekend. Knight's Kyra

xxblushesxx -> RE: One could get very jaded... (2/2/2008 6:53:55 PM)
Kyra; I have to say, I've done the same. Sometimes I type it all out, and think 'nope...not gonna do it'. I don't want to tempt fate, for she is evil... And I also agree that I hope that no one wishes the three of you ill. Whenever any of you post I am happy for you. I have spoken to one or two of you in the past, and every conversation has been enlightening and well thought out. ~Christina p.s. yep, L.A.'s new icon thingy...lolol

quote: ORIGINAL: takenbyjohnr07 Happiness should be taken whenever we can get it, and it should be shared. There is far too much negativity in the world. It depends on the source of one's happiness. My new found love of crack and snuff films brings me the most delight I have experienced in over a decade. I would like to share it with you but I think it might be against tos if I go into the graphic details. For some reason when I shared the cause for my new found glee with the people who attend my pottery class it was not well received. Anywhooo, there are many who treat relationships like drugs...It's a momentary euphoria followed by the stealing from your loved ones and lighting some hobos on fire. It isn't about happiness...It's fine to be happy when there is a legitimate cause to be happy for someone...This is more about learning certain social skills...Ya know, when you hear someone comment for the umpteenth time that they have found "the one" or their soulmate...You learn not to laugh, blow pop out your nose, hold you "circled" right hand in front of your chest and move it up and down demonstrating the mock hand job or roll your eyes in their presence. I wonder if the subs who come out here and proclaim there happiness are told to do so by their Dom? It would be great pub..Make her comment on my perfection as a mate and a Dom...How I don't fart. How I fuck like I just got rescued from a deserted island. That I am deliciously diabolical...Hmmmm...Might have to create a new profile for that sub I just collared...I think she is going to say that I am dreamy. Tragically she will be killed in a fire. Maybe it would be refreshing if they had a "Low Expectations" thread. quote: Domiguy Hi everyone, I'm Domiguy and I just met cumslurpin'sub4U...It was okay. We went out to dinner. She's far from perfect. She chews with her mouth open. She also mentioned that her gums bleed and she sleeps with her ferret. But ya know, I really have been in kind of a rut of late and I think she would be perfect to kill some time with. I would cough up my left nut if we make it till Spring. Anywhooo, I think she caught me looking at the waitresses ass at dinner and I could have sworn she gave the bartender her home phone number. The first time I fucked her I was already thinking of someone else. I haven't been in a relationship that lasted over 6 months in my life....So here we go again. But what the fuck! It's not like I have anything better to do with my time. God I hope she doesn't gain any more weight.

LPslittleclip -> RE: One could get very jaded... (2/2/2008 7:41:22 PM)
no relationship is perfect. if you search for perfection you will never find it. i searched for happiness and found it in M'Ladys collar, there have been some bumps but thats what makes the journey worth doing if it was not for the bumps and jogs in life's path how would we ever discover the depth of ourselves. and if your happy and you know it why not shout about it much better than whining about trivial things in my opinion anyway.

quote: ORIGINAL: KatyLied I think that people who gush constantly on the message board need to have public approval for what they do. Perhaps because they aren't getting that acknowledgement in their relationship Perhaps. Or maybe they're just really happy and feel like sharing. It's wonderful to be as happy as I find myself every single day. I wouldn't say I've ever "gushed" about things[:)], but I certainly have spoken alot about how grateful and blessed Master and I both feel. Not seeking approval because there's not a poster or reader here who really matters at all in the grand scheme of my life. But, when topics arise, if I'm to post honestly, I must be open about how wonderful our life really is. It's far from perfect. But it's better than any thing either of us have ever known or ever thought we'd know. We're happy and thankful and, when the opportunity arises, we proudly say so. Not bragging. Not trying to convince anyone. Just statin' the facts, ma'am[;)]..........luci

How do you know those who yell the loudest over and over of their relationships are not ? My thought exactly.

The same principle about all this "yelling" and "shouting" could also be applied to the other side. All those hatin' on the bliss of others MAY just be trying to convince themselves that they don't need what they may not be able to find. Maybe. But then maybe not.

ChainedExistence -> RE: One could get very jaded... (2/2/2008 8:53:31 PM)
There's certainly plenty of bad news around for someone who wants to hear those things-deaths, car accidents, fires, flood and the like without wishing for bad things to befall those who are happy in love. So, if someone wants to gush a little and talk about their happiness, it's a welcome change of pace from what we normally get to hear. Am I more impressed when it comes from a long-term couple (or triad, or any configuration)? Sure, because I know that they've had to weather some storms along the way and they are still happy together. At the same time, I don't have to begrudge even the new "I just met you and I'm wearing your collar" types from enjoying their moments of bliss. Even if something doesn't last, those moments of joy are what makes the moments of desperation all the more bearable. I don't make myself happier by wishing misery on someone else, nor can someone else's misery impact what I feel. Besides, both joys and sorrows were meant to be shared- Hallmark has created a whole industry out of it! It's part of our nature to want to connect to others about what we feel. It's my choice how I react to it, and I don't feel jaded by it.

junecleaver -> RE: One could get very jaded... (2/2/2008 9:20:39 PM)
My Dominant posted on the Positive Experiences forum. My reactions were, "Oh no! Now we are going to break up soon!" and, "You are sappy." I tend to agree with you. I think it boils down to people being desperate for attention.

quote: ORIGINAL: ChainedExistence It's part of our nature to want to connect to others about what we feel. It's my choice how I react to it, and I don't feel jaded by it. True. It's hard to watch people go through the in love part and come out sad, but I don't feel jaded by it. I don't believe a great deal that I read on various forums, but that's more to do with the nature of online forums than me feeling jaded. Watching the elections makes me feel jaded!

Rover -> RE: One could get very jaded... (2/2/2008 9:34:08 PM)
I believe the quote you were referring to was: quote: ORIGINAL: Rover It has always been my theory that the shelf life of a relationship is inversely proportional to the amount of public drama received at it's inception. And my point was that such public drama is indicative of someone who is latching onto someone... anyone... regardless of compatibility. It's indicative of someone who is simply desperate to own, or be owned, without regard to whom they own or belong to. The drama being more a public show (and show off) of relief and validation for having (finally) achieved the summit. Sure it seems perfect, because the objective was simply to own or be owned. And in having accomplished that, what more is there? That's all there is to it, right? I mean, that's what it's all about, isn't it? How could it not be perfect? And other than it being two people who have no clue as to what they want in a partner and a relationship, no idea how to recognize it when it comes along, no idea how to be patient and not compromise, no idea how to nurture and care for it... other than that, it really is perfect. I mean, it's ownership and being owned. John

quote: I understand what you're saying and generally agree on the principle, but where you say relationships should not be perfect, I say that life should not be perfect. I don't place that onus on the relationship itself, but rather how we live our lives. To me, our relationship is perfect... it's life that offers the challenges to overcome. It's up to us to create the goals that we will grow from. Very true and very good point. I speak here about relationships in particular simply because that is the topic of the OP. However, the same words do apply to life more broadly with equal validity.

(Maybe in your little internet world, but no one I know would be jealous of strangers who may or may not even be having a relationship. Being jealous would connote having some sort of vested interest in a person and since strangers typing across a screen are vitrual, it would therefore be impossible to be jealous of typing.) quote: We all have our own personal lives and relationships; just because we do not broadcast them and examine them publically under a microscope or shout about how blissful we are, does not mean we hate or or are jealous of anyone Not necessarily, no.
