He kept dumping her and the last time, she just told him she had enough. the next day he came back begging for her and swearing that he loved her more then anything in the world. And she told him to prove it. So he proposed. She didn't know what to do, so she said yes and it went downhill from there. 2.0k ↓ Reply Share

    Font - SnoBunny1982 15 hr. ago The way they speak to each other when they're not alone. I noticed this after my divorce and I started dating again, because you speak to these new people with a lot of respect and kindness. Then we'd get around married couples and they'd saw awful things to each other in nasty snappy tones, and it was jarring.

    Font - jayhitter 17 hr. ago 2 If all disagreements end in arguments. Me and my partner disagree about a lot of stuff. But we can talk, discuss, and even sometimes agree with the other person's side. It'd be weird if you saw eye to eye on 100% of stuff too. ↑ 17.7k ↓ Reply Share

    Font - Allredditorsarewomen 15 hr. ago . I always think of the bird theory. If one person says to the other, "oh look a bird" and the other doesn't want to connect over the bird (just looking at it and giving a "hey thanks, that's a cool bird") the relationship is not going to go well. Basically you have to be willing to make small every day connections. I find this is true of a lot of relationships outside of romantic or sexual ones as well. 2.8k 2.8k ↓ Reply Share ●●●
