One man and one woman.

I'd say patience, but even that hasn't worked out so well for me. Someone always finds the end of it. I suppose you could fake it for a few years what with all the streaming series released on Netflix. Hope for a meteorite before the shows run out. If you play your cards right, you might just make it.


:D

Yes that is what some people call a relationship :cool:

Don't inform her that I used her stylization tho :cool:

Is this question specific to men only?

I assume not. With my most recent problems it took, as always, level headedness, communication, trust and love. Those generally seem to work for me. :)

^that your relationship advice, right?

Yoda, Yoda! Me n the ole girl are at our wits' end! What ever shall we do to right this boat?
Yoda: Just listen to what the other person is saying, then respond accordingly. Preferably by selective quoting so that your reply can come in order of the original discussion.


That will be 2,000 Credits.
:D

On a serious note, I still believe patience is the key. Empathy for as much as you can give is a good foundation, IMO, but I think that patience and empathy must be on a two-way street else the relationship can become imbalanced. I think you both need to have realistic goals and expectations of each other by not judging shortcomings and failures, etc. Having skills (practical or emotional characteristics) that complement your partner's weaknesses (and vice versa) can help strengthen trust in each other, just be careful of weird co-dependencies. ...aaaaaaaand communication.

Your lucky numbers are 7, 13, 27, and 32.

Sorry. In my predictable pattern, I cannot help but end with a joke. This was starting to read like a daily horoscope so I didn't know how to wrap it up, and I panicked.
