If I had known what I know now…

Most of my friends and acquaintances are single, mostly divorced. In my country, the divorce rate is pretty high, almost half and half. I am not an exception.

Being in a relationship is a hard job that needs to be cared and one has to learn how to listen to each other's needs and wishes. It seems to be the most important responsibility we have in life because the content partnership between a man and a woman is the base for everything else we want to achieve. Unfortunatelly, there is no sure recipe for this lottery and the disappointment from breaking up can be enormous.

Going through some blogs I have read some small paragraphs out of context. I think it doesn´t matter. Each of them is a beginning of a story that only life can write. Anyway, my niece got married when she was twenty. She divorced three years later. Now, she has a live-in boyfriend and is pregnant without any intention of remarrying.

As much as I love being spontaneous, I think we need to have some kind of organised date each week (or, if we're too busy, every fortnight LOL). Something we can do together. Something to look forward to. Something fun.

I am more and more amazed every day at how much easier it is getting to be open with Joe. I really can tell him anything and our level of trust in each other has gone through the roof.

Jackie

I am in tears right now. I may lose, or may have lost, the one and only person that has ever truly meant anything to me. Why? Because, I Jackie, am the worlds hugeest dumbass/jackass/jerk/horrible selfish person.

The Girl

We both woke up around the same time, but just laid there laughing and snuggling and talking. Son came in to snuggle and then would leave, come back and leave. We had a good laugh with him coming in and sticking his cold feet on us. It was such a relaxing morning.

Laura

Wow, I haven't been in a relationship in a really long time. hahaha.

I am starting to think that being married is either hard work or luck of the draw. My brother whom I thought had a pretty steady marriage is collapsing. My lil sister has filed for divorce...these after being married less than 4 years.

I have been married almost 16 years, and I worry sometimes that all this breaking up will be catching.

Well, I guess you have to be a bit lucky to meet a real soul mate and be patient enought to bear with them. As I can read in your blog your marriage seems really balanced. You are the lucky one.
