One aspect of true love is two people coming together as one.
Not one of the two working at the relationship whereas the other doesn’t.
It takes a cohesive effort from both sides.
True Love is not like a Fairy Tale book.
It takes a lot of hard work from both sides.
Look to your lover’s strengths and not their short comings.
That is unless they are abusive or something.
Then you need to get out quick.
That goes for mental abuse as well.
Accept your lover for who they are and accept the fact that you are not going to change them.
If they change it will be of their own accord not that of the lover.
Sometimes one walks into a relationship not seeing the whole of the individual they met.
Ask yourself after seeing the whole, can I live with this for the rest of my life; because, you will be. Both sides always bring in their own baggage (problems).
If you cannot then run and I mean run.
There will be great hurt because of the loss, but better to hurt for a few months, than hurt for the rest of your life staying with someone you slowly grow to despise.
True Love is not ooey-gooey romance each and every day of ones life together.
Is sharing finances ooey-gooey?
Is doing the laundry ooey-gooey?
No, they are not, but they are things two people share and they are a part of the whole.
True Love is doing things with your lover even though those things might be the most boring thing in the world to you and you do them without complaint.
Remember, you both have different likes and dislikes.
These are, but a fraction of things.
I realize this isn’t exactly how you want these words expressed, but I lack the talent of word placement which adds beauty to things said.
