Healthy Relationships Support Group
No relationship is perfect. A long-term relationship requires constant effort to understand each other, fix misunderstandings, solve problems and continue to grow as both individuals change and evolve. How we deal with our misunderstandings is the focus of this community. Join us to find support, get advice, and share your experience with your relationship.
I always feel sad when I see all the the relationship problems people are going through, and I know I've posted my share too, so I thought it'd be nice to talk about the great things about my partner or that my partner has done for me! Feel free to share your own!
My boyfriend is actively trying to better himself. I love that even with the odds stacked against him, he keeps on trying. He has a great sense of humor and can always make me laugh.
Recently, my boyfriend stayed home with me all night instead of hanging out with his friends. This might not seem like a big deal, but he had been working overnights, so he was gone at least 5 nights a week, sometimes more. It meant so much to me to have him tell his friends "I'm staying in tonight." Then, the next morning he got up when I did, and while I was outside with the dogs, he made us a batch of bacon to share, with half of it made just the way I like it! Today, he visited me at lunch time at work, bringing me Chinese for lunch. :)

Not really in what I'd call a relationship right now. I text and occasionally go see a movie with a lady who considers me a friend. It's OK--sex has a tendency to lead to babies, and neither she nor I can afford them lol.
Also, I've got a same-sex buddy who seems to like hanging out with me. We're generally on the same page about everything, and if we disagree about something, we can at least talk it out to understand each other's point-of-view. He's great training for a relationship with a woman. He can be quite demanding, high-maintenance, requires frequent and complex communication, a challenge! Thankfully, I welcome the challenge. He keeps me from being too self-centered, boring and dumb.
I'm very grateful!
