I have to be in a relationship where I can say what I feel even if it's wrong - so we can work through it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I couldn't be in a relationship and behave like somebody else or pretend I felt something I didn't feel. And that includes saying things I thought might jeopardize the relationship.
I always entertain the notion that I'm wrong, or that I'll have to revise my opinion. Most of the time that feels good; sometimes it really hurts and is embarrassing.
I haven't always been vocal about my feelings, especially in a relationship.
I know I've made mistakes, and sometimes I've talked about things too openly or directly. That wasn't good, and I've learned from that.
In life, there are those relationships where you really love someone, but they're just not right for you and there's a little bittersweet feel to it.
With relationships, I've been through a lot of different situations with different people, and I write about it.
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
The biggest mistake is believing there is one right way to listen, to talk, to have a conversation - or a relationship.
I've been in many relationships in my life and learned a lot from them, good and bad.
There's nobody on this earth who can tell you that what you're feeling is wrong. They can tell you it's different to what they're feeling.
