I used to wonder if there would ever be anyone who could handle me or take me the way that I am. When you get to that point in your life when you’ve got a good idea of who you are and where you want to go, adding someone else’s needs and desires into the mix can feel a little scary.

In my relationship, as new as it is, I’ve discovered that being with the right person just brings out more of who I am. I’m not giving up pieces of myself… I’m finding new ones. Of course, there -are- compromises, but not about who I am or who he is. We accept each other as the people we are and the compromises are over things like who’s going to move where, who’ll be doing the dishes and whare my frog prince shelves are allowed to go (he thinks they’re ugly hehe).

My guy has probably seen me go through all my moods, he lets me cry when I need to, he understands when I’m feeling needy, and he’s amused when I do something outrageous. I’ve never felt so accepted or so open to anyone in my life, including my best girlfriend. I couldn’t settle for anything less.

In fact the BEST relationships are those where each party has their own life. They have interests and hobbies and THEY are interesting. They have something to bring to the relationship and keep it vital. i think why so many people split up and marriages fail is because many people just didn’t have that much to offer each other in the first place. YOU Ms.Jodi have plenty to offer and hopefully you won’t settle for just anyguy (like a lot of women) and you’ll find someone that has a lot to offer you. I’m a techer and the same thing goes with kids, the more you have to offer them the more you and your children will enjoy each other and thrive. Teach your children to have interests (so many parents don’t) so they don’t always rely on the outside world for their ideas or entertainment and you will be raising very successful children.
