Just when I can do with some support, you walk away, because you want me to be strong. I understand.
Relationships are a balance between give and take, benefits and risk.I am begining to understand.
There is constant lies being told,truth hidden and distorted, in the hope that someday I will appreciate the bigger truth.I fail to understand.
Just when things are looking up, you want to give up.You want me to understand?
The closer I feel to you, the farther you think your place is.I don’t understand.
I have been an adult for longer than I had bargained for.I want to be a child sometimes. You don’t seem to understand.
I expect loyalty, and passion in my relationships.That is so much more important to me than ‘socially acceptable behaviour’. Could you ever understand that about me?
When I decide to get into some thing, I do so fully.I will make every effort to see that till the end.You fail to understand.
I can’t stand pretence or superficiality, and definitely don’t do well with hypocrisy.Do you understand?
Sometimes I just want you to let me be. Whether you understand or not, at this point,I don’t really care.
Addendum:
What are our definitions of a relationship?Ever heard about the transactional analysis and dynamic realtionship between Parent adult and child?
Define your relationships before you think of what effect this post has on you? I am not necessarily talking about a guy and a girl and a romantic relationship.Just thought you would like to know.
This relationship concept is so esoteric. Wish I could get it in easy terms.
I guess the only time it is peaceful to be in a relationship is when you don’t need the relationship. The moment one got dependent for anything – it is begining of getting hurt.

I think I gave up trying to understand anything that happens between two people of the opposite sex a long, long time ago. *sigh* 😀

And that would be idealistic or atleast unrealistic to not want or get dependant on some one.So is one always doomed to be hurt?

And you really want me to play along with this one?:D

Are you saying, we understand what we want to understand,as that is what we want?
Then I would agree.Is there anything you don’t know about?

awesome post. i have a feeling that the older we get, the harder it is to deal with relationships….. we’re expected to be ‘grown-up’ and ‘understanding’….. but who on earth can be so perfect all the time??
ahhh…how i long for those idyllic childhood days where ‘crisis’ meant fighting over the window seat in the school bus!

One doesn’t need to be perfect to deal with relationships, they need to be themselves, which I think gets harder as we grow up.It is when pretence creeps into our behaviour that all the misunderstandings crop up.

Further to addendum, I guess my comment is generic. It is true for all relationships. And as you pointed out one is always doomed to be hurt. This is a hard fact.

I don’t know. I’ve never tried to define a relationship and put it down in words. But that works fine with me. 🙂
