I’m not a relationship expert, so I don’t want to speak for the other person, but I do know that when someone wants to be in a long term relationship, they will want to know what is going on. They want to feel as if they are important. They want to know that their partner is there for them in difficult times, that they are not alone, and they believe that they are making a good decision in getting with the person.
You can’t have a long term relationship without having a very clear purpose for it. There seems to be a lot of people out there who seem to think they have to have a long-term relationship to get married, have a family, have kids, or to get to a certain place in life. I don’t know what the purpose of a long-term relationship is, but it seems like there are a lot of people who think they can get away with it.
People need a purpose. If a person says they want to be with you for the rest of their life, they need to know what that means. If they want to have kids, they need to know that the idea of having kids seems like an awful idea. If they want to get married, they need to know that a marriage is something that is not for them.
This all sounds like a lot of self-righteousness, but what is the purpose of making a long-term commitment to someone? To be honest, I don’t think there is any real purpose to any of this. If you get married, you have to be totally committed to each other for the rest of your lives. To be committed to something for only a week or a month is to be totally committed to something for the rest of your lives.
When you say you want to get married, it means you want to spend your whole life with your spouse. If you want to get married, you have to be in love, you have to be committed, you have to be sure that you love each other and you have to be sure that you love him or her.
Now we’re just getting into the territory of defining commitment, but I’ve been seeing some of my friends who have been married for decades or more and they couldn’t be more different. Some of them are not in love at all, but they are totally committed to each other. Others are in love, but they are totally committed to each other. And the one I’m talking about is in love.
I agree with you. Ive been noticing that a lot of my friends who are in long term relationships are committed to each other and they are so in love that they cant imagine parting ways with their spouse. It’s not even an opinion, it’s just an observation (and it’s a big one)… Its like they are not even aware that they are in love.
The thing is that this is a fairly common feeling for people in long term relationships. I know plenty of people who are in love but dont know it, or its a crush, or it feels like there is something wrong with the relationship, or they are just friends, or they are trying to keep the relationship secret because they are afraid of ending it.
Its the feeling that there is something wrong with the relationship, and that they should consider going their separate ways. I know plenty of people who are in love but dont know it, or its a crush, or it feels like there is something wrong with the relationship, or they are just friends, or they are trying to keep the relationship secret because they are afraid of ending it.
I understand that feeling. I have a great friend in my life, one who I really admire who I feel is trying to do the right thing, and who I admire as a person because she would never lie to me, not even to tell me that she is lonely. It’s why I love her so much.
