What is Sex? - Love? Part 2

Let's look at this from both perspective

The Good
A good relationship can change the world as you know it - for the better.
A positive relationship lets you be yourself as well as be a part of a couple.

The Bad
A sure sign, it's a bad relationship is when you feel like you can't be yourself, or perhaps, you feel pressured into doing things you're not comfortable with or that you wouldn't normally do. This kind of relationship is very damaging and sometimes could take sometime to heal from it, if its traumatic.

So, how do I know that I'm in a bad relationship? You need to know who you are, what you want and what you are comfortable with. Anything that interfere with who you really are, are worth 2nd or 3rd of 4th thoughts...

True love can last. I could start out like infatuation, but soon the difference will become clear. Loving someone means knowing who they are - their good and not so good qualities - and accepting it, and vice versa. It's about respecting (sometime sharing) their values, choices and feelings - ingredients of a great relationship.

Love also means, respecting your partner's space and time - knowing that your partner is emotionally there, even when they are not with you physically. You may, or may not choose to have sex with partner when you are a relationship. Yes, platonic relationship does exist. Just remember, there are many ways to express your love and affection for someone, sex is just of of those many ways. Just a reminder, choosing not to have sex doesn't mean you don't love each other. It just means that you've found other way to express your feelings !!!
