A significant other should supplement your life, not be the foundation.

So...as their significant other...should you be a supplement for their life, or are they just "buliding" their own chit on their own "foundation"?

If that other person is truly "significant" to you, then shouldn't it be about puttin' your foundation with theirs to make a stronger foundation for you both to supplement?

i can understand this and appreciate it because i've truly been in love before and that's how i felt. but after it was over, it kinda felt like i could go on living a GREAT normal life, and that in a sense they were there to just "enhance" my life. but yeah, i get your point. and really i could see someone feeling either way.

People KNOW this to be the truth deep down, but a lot don't live by it.

At 22 years old, I'm a recovering simp, and it took me a LONG time to realize this, but I'm blessed to say I see the big picture regarding this topic at a relatively young age. There's nikkas way older than me that still don't get it.

Ol' "She's my world" ass nikkas.

I don't dispute that, I think there's truth to it...but the key is balance.

I agree that you shouldn't be too wrapped up in one person, but you also can't be too wrapped up in yourself, either.

I know you're older than me and have way more experience so I feel like you're a good person to ask: how did your feelings towards love/relationships change from ages 18-25?

Well:

- You have to learn who you are to get the most out of your relationships. I am a person who is very loyal, and I found out that most people are not the same way (that goes for any type of relationship). Knowing that, i've learned not to expect too much out of people. When you don't expect much from people, then you are pleasantly suprised a lot.

- A real relationship cannot stand on sex alone/ a real relationship cannot be broken on sex alone, either.

- I am very careful about the word "love", because it can be misconstrued.

...That said, I know there are different types of "love" - and ALL of them have to be present to form a lasting relationship with someone you may wish to marry/civil unionize (whatever you are into (not that there's anything wrong with that)).

- We all want the same things.

- One of my favorite things to do is sit down to a good meal with a lady (or ladies) and have a good conversation. You've got to be able to have that with an s/o.

just some thoughts that popped in...
