how can you say you're in love when all you ever do is fight?

so we've heard all the usual defences about how arguments can tighten a relationship, how it draws people closer because of the deeper understanding that emerges and all that whatevers.

do i sound sceptical?

contrary to how the tone may sound, i actually do agree with the above. what frustrates me isnt because i dont believe, but because others dont.

oh you men of little faith...

if you argue over issues, clear the air, well done.
but if it's nonsensical bickering, then i wholly agree with all the sceptics out there.

can anyone truly move on?
why not?

memories may have set someone apart, but that's something intangible that cant be touched.
if one cant live with that memory, then maybe this moving on in question has to be re-examined.

shrugs.

as far as i'm concerned, i have.

KEEP YOUR RELATIONSHIP IN CHECK
1. dont ever bash your partner up! (haha duh.! domestic abuse is a big nono. )

ok seriously.
2. have faith. in yourself, your partner and your relationship.

3. remember that faith doesnt stem from anything. that's why it's called faith. you just believe even if you have no physical whatever! FAITH PEOPLE FAITH!!

4. trust. dont question your partner's fidelity unless your intuition tells you to. sometimes your suspicions are unfounded. not only about the issue about fidelity, many other things too.

5. dont restrict your partner. even vices. it'll only lead to resentment even though it's for their own good. i think they're old enough to know how to handle themselves. (unless of course you're either with someone very young or someone horribly immature. *pauses*wait. what the hell are you doing with someone horribly immature!?)

6. if you're horribly immature, grow up! it's time to start thinking and looking at the world and its people.

7. keep things simple. live by the motto of 'i love you, you love me, do the best for each other, happily ever after!' yes i know things are not that simple but all your senseless ponderings and overdone reflections only complicate things.

8. the notion of loving your partner for who they are is bullshit. if you're talking about dress sense or musical interests, fine. but if you're an alcoholic am i supposed to accept it cause it's part of you? no right. or if your nature is to say hurtful things without thinking when you're angry, your partner is supopsed to put up with that? no right. for goodness sake at least change for the better!
ps: just for the record ive been keeping my temper in check. ;p

sigh. so how much did you score?
