Relationship Truisms

• you cannot make someone love you, you can however be someone who can be loved. The choice is then theirs.
• no matter how much you may want a relationship with someone, that someone just may not want a relationship with you.
• it can  take years of invested time to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
• it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that matters.
• be aware that one wrong decision takes a split second to make, which will give you a life of heartache.
• no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides to every relationship.
• you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be your last word..
• you are responsible for your own actions, no matter what causes them.
• there are people who love deeply, they just don't know how to show it...be patient, if you teach them lovingly, they will learn in turn.
• true friendship can continue to grow, through absence and distance as can a true love...where there is a will, there is most definitely a way.
• just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you  the way they want to.
• no matter how good a partner is, they will falter you at some point and that is when you must learn to forgive through your love.
• the world does not stop and wait for the sufferings of a broken heart, and neither should you.
• just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other, on the other hand,  just because they don't argue,  doesn't mean they do.
• we don't have to change our  partner as long as we can understand that our partner does change.
• beware of negative thinking...as it can become a devils advocate in your relationship.
• how you understand who you are will help you to understand who your partner is.
• although the word "love" is ever so endearing, it can lose it`s value when said without thought or meaning..
• love is not for one to keep, it is however,  to be to passed on, to stay alive.
• just because you are having a bad day...does not mean that your partner has to have one also.
• pretending to be someone you are not can be very tiring, why not save your energy for those who accept you for who you are.
• is it that, you never know what you have until you loose it  or is it that,  you know what you have and just never think your going to loose it...?
• you can not go wrong with a smile or a hug, just as a simple, how are you...invites friendship.
