NWFlyer 2 #3 February 3, 2011 Who do you need in a relationship? Trust. Wait ... is that question supposed to be "who" or "what"? If it's who, I'll say "Someone I can trust."What do you want? A partner who I love spending time with. What are you not willing to accept? Drama or passive-aggressive behavior (which, come to think, often go hand-in-hand)."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warpedskydiver 0 #5 February 3, 2011 Sex, companionship, not being judged harshly, friendship, similar hobbies or interests. Basically nothing I have gotten from my marriage.I am not dissing her but those of you who actually know me understand what I mean. There are women who fit these meager requests, but sadly they are not interested nor single. So basically I can either suck it up and pay dearly or peel and push. Besides I am not exactly good looking anymore and certainly not wealthy, heck all I have is well you know... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davjohns 1 #6 February 3, 2011 What do you need in a relationship? Trust, respect, appreciation, honesty, fidelity What do you want? Intelligent conversation, reasonably compatible views, some degree of physical attraction / mutually satisfying physical relationship, life goals that aren't mutually exclusive, decent conflict resolution skills, enjoy spending time together / some shared interests, no extreme or bad habits. What are you not willing to accept? Pretty much the opposite or lack of the things listed in the needs category. Untrustworthy, disrespectful, unappreciative, dishonest, disloyal. Probably not a comprehensive answer, but enough to work with.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #8 February 3, 2011 the questions are known to everyone. we use them every day, in every situation. at work, in the grocery store, among family. all contact with other people is a level of relationship. we evaluate what behavior is not acceptable, what behavior is desired, what are "red flags". we let their behavior determine their place in our life. all situations except one. in the elusive search for "The One". in that case, all caution and usual thought are tossed to the wind. how is this accomplished? ask the question, "what do you want?". the rephrase is, "what do i have to be, or change to?" quickly, turn on the mental tape recorder. "click" wait 15 minutes, "well... i'm like..." "click" as it goes to play mode. people answer the questions all the time. the problem is reacting to the answers in the normal valid manner.

Well Said Dave....It is too bad it seems that is asking for WAY too much from people these days The only thing I can add is ones ability to own up to their mistakes. We are all human, we make bad choices or do dumb shit. Own up to it, learn from it and grow. When someone tries to place blame on others throwing them under the bus, that will make me just take a hike the other direction. Such is life and I will go on loving and living!

Nataly 38 #11 February 3, 2011 Quote What do you need in a relationship? What do you want? What are you not willing to accept? --- Please discuss. These are hard to answer because what you *think* you want and what you actually need can be very different... Often we don't really know what the latter is until confronted with it... For me, it depends tremendously on the person... Someone may have amazing qualities I never even thought to look for, all the while not possessing something I thought was important but turns out isn't... I think some basics include someone who makes me feel good; someone who encourages me to grow (as opposed to holds me back); someone who respects/trusts/values me and whom I respect/admire/trust in turn; someone who makes me laugh; someone who 'gets' me..."There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shah269 0 #13 February 3, 2011 What do you need in a relationship? A friend and partner who has a good view of the unievrse. And kinky sex three times a week! What do you want? For me to not cook dinner once a week. And kinky porno quality sex three times a week! What are you not willing to accept? Being disrespected. Vegatarians and no kinky porno quality sex three times a week. Funny I actually had that for a few months this year. It was nice! Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!
