guys and gals

I got this friend who's a talented fella and my main squeeze. I find myself very happy being with him.
If you've ever wondered what makes a relationship, just look around at the one's you're friends have that aren't working, and don't do what they do.

After being married 10 years and getting divorced in 96, I felt no need to ever give up my identity again. Ever.

Marriages and relationships more times than not have too many miserable
moments because of the, "You're mine now, I own you factor. Why can't you do what I tell you to do."
Just writing it gives me the heeby-geebies..

Though I'll never get married again, (I say that with a very positive emotion)
I've given this relationship thing another try, while staying true to myself.

My advise?

Be friends first.
Really, treat them like you do your best friend.. (no nagging)
Take breaks from each other to stay true to yourself.
Keep doing what makes you happy.
Share your happiness.
Be secure in yourself and you'll find all this very easy.

Don't try to own and micro manage their days.
Not let them have their own friends and time away from you..
Can you imagine doing that to your friends?

Anyway, it works for me.
