No partner in a love relationship... should feel that he has to give up an essential part of himself to make it viable.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do not believe, even remotely, that you have to have a partner in your life in order to be whole, in order to be complete, in order to be fulfilled. You just don't have to.
Too often we forget that an ideal partner is someone who enhances an already full existence.
A relationship will be futile if it's based just on physicality. Intellectual stimulation is a must for me.
Part of the problem in today's world is that many men are taught that they have to 'make it' before they should even consider committed to a healthy partnership.
Perfect partners don't exist. Perfect conditions exist for a limited time in which partnerships express themselves best.
A lover without indiscretion is no lover at all.
Demand no more out of your partner than what you are willing to give yourself.
If we are happy within ourselves, we don't accept or demand that our partner should fulfill every need. We need to be comfortable with our own company.
The weaker partner in a marriage is the one who loves the most.
There's nothing wrong with wanting a partner and doing the things to have one. To protect ourselves, we have to say, 'I don't need one.'
