What's the secret to a happy relationship
Jump to: Newest in thread
Having enough in common, being open and honest with each other, oodles of trust, respect, understanding and fulfilling each others needs, mutual desire to make it work and stay together through bad times, being happy in each others company without having to say or do anything, last but not least...plenty of sex with others  |

My Granddad always used to claim it was saying 'yes dear'. To be fair, apart from a bit of unpleasantness in the 40s with some Germans, my Granddad never had an argument in his life, had loads of friends and no one ever had a bad word to say about him, so he may have been onto something.  |

Lots of people tell us never go to bed on an argument, always miss each other goodnight.
We rarely argue tbh, we bicker sometimes but hardly and even if I am asleep first (which is rare) we always kiss goodnight (must admit it's doughnut that always does the kissing, I'm not very good at affection lol), I think I can count on one hand how many times he hasnt kissed me good night.
Before we leave each other we kiss each other (just a peck), even if it's just down to the bins!
I honestly don't know, all I know is our relationship is a happy one (probably because we get to shag other people, that probably is what keeps us fresh and happy!) |

Attention. That is all.
Pay attention to them when they share things
Give attention, all the different kinds, bucket loads... and you will get even more in return
Be attentive to their needs
Notice things, like changes in their lives or in their needs.
Just be present and interested... it shows you care. The lack of attentionshows you don't and neglect will wither a relationship to the stump over time  |

Have a relationship and be happy together. And treasure every moment of it. If there are things wrong that are your fault, try to put them right. We all age and change, sometimes we cannot be who we used to be, but we can at least be kind and thoughtful and accept if it cannot be what it was, without pushing blame around.
Love each other.
Understand your own failings, try to be better, but don't destroy yourself with agony if you can't be perfect (believe me, this is hard, sometimes I have caused myself so much pain when I felt I let her down, even if it might have been impossible to do better).
Love each other.
Be honest. But maybe not painfully honest - if total honesty cannot possibly improve anything and can only hurt, then try to balance on the knife edge, be the best you can but don't be cruel. Bloody difficult and you always end up failing...
Don't throw your own faults onto the other person.
Love each other.
Forgive and hope to be forgiven.
You don't own the other, the other doesn't own you, you freely give of each other to each other.
If things do fall apart, then separate with love, not with hate. Remember the good times, try to forgive the bad times.
Well, bugger me, this started off as a one liner, ended up as another Polly essay. Maybe just ignore everything except the first line. With love, Polly xxx |
