		<description>"no arguments = no confrontations?
no confrontations = not being honest with your feelings/stands/thoughts?"

... like I said... I know it is hard to believe.

I also get some ridiculous comments like... "it is healthy to argue every once in a while..." or "maybe you aren't pushing your relationship comfort zones..."

... all these sort of statements. Really, I think it is absolutely ridiculous that people can think that way. If you get along... you just get along la... why must go cari pasal?

I'll tell you frankly... and once again, it'll be hard to believe. Even if I tried to start a fight... or tried to be an asshole... and vice versa... we just can't fight. We'd end up laughing at how stupid we sound.</description>

		<description>no arguments = no confrontations?
no confrontations = not being honest with your feelings/stands/thoughts?

I don't mean to step on anyone's tail. Perhaps it's PMS, perhaps not. I know we girls are suppose to control our mood swings but we can't control our hormones. I know some girls give our gender a bad name because of PMS (an excuse overly used, badly used, unshamedly used) yet I do know of some girls who are really affected by PMS.

Bleh. I don't know chooks, perhaps I'm in your same state so I am for PMS. *haha!* 

Laurier is my best friend at the moment, too. Blergh. Purposely chomp on pineapples so to speed up the flow = menstruation ends faster. *heh*

If there is ever something that I could directly use to remove all relationship insecurities, I'd like some of it, please. </description>

		<description>I disagree on that.

My fiancee and I get along very well. I know it is hard to believe... but I've never argued with her even once in our relationship. I knew within 3 months that she was the one.

Few years down the road... I'm taking action and already proposed.

All my bad relationships was in a way good for me. I realised what I wanted in a relationship. 

I used to preach to people that you have to WORK at a relationship. These days... I think I've got to change my opinion. I worked really hard a lot of the time in previous relationships. As a guy, I went through lots of mental torture because I always had to give in to PMS, insults and mood swings and "just because" excuses.

I now know... it doesn't have to be that way. 

Sometimes no matter how hard you work at it... you just ain't compatible.</description>

		<description>Responding to you guys. 

Edrei: Yup. I can accept that. Trying to be happy. Trying? Hello? I am happy. 

Madder: Yes, he is a nice guy. 

Graceshu: these guys just don't want to understand girls, no matter how much they say they want to... so well... 

Kenjiro: I don't always feel this way. 

AWM User, MR: [quote]...I don’t mean no offence… but if you gonna remain psycho… you will get dumped....[/quote]

maybe I don't even mind getting dumped, even though i dread the pain that comes with it. 

Eyeris: I guess so. I seem to recall it being very difficult in the first year.... 

The Dramatist: I find it interesting that even in the comments you can see how a female differs from the male when it comes to their perspectives on relationships. Well, that said, we really belong on different planets. Maybe it is easier for a woman to love a woman, and a man to love a man.

		<description>Aiyah, hard to say. The thing is, we’ll never know. Trust me, gals everywhere are waiting for that “stamp of authority”. Unfortunately, apart from wedding bells and a marriage cert, I doubt there is one for gf/bf status.

I just had a spat with this guy I like, but we managed to get our supressed gripes out when we were commiting mental murder, so we *knew* what went wrong and we could take steps to overcome them or compromise. I can see that he tries to do that, I'm trying too. And that's good.

I don't even know if he likes me. Love me, love me not. How would you know if a guy likes you *that* way?</description>

		<description>I don't mean no offence... but if you gonna remain psycho... you will get dumped. Welcoming a guy into the car with a greeting like "you were going to dump me, weren't you?" is totally not on. During PMS times or not... it is just plain psycho. I apologise again. No man or woman... needs to deal with that kind of weird stuff at the end of a working day.

Some people are addicted to chaos and trouble and that whole fight and make-up cycle. I hate it.

I had a psycho GF once who... came to vist me overseas. Earlier in the day I tried to make out and she said... cannot... that time of the month. So I backed off. As it was my birthday... later in the night she said she had a surprise for me. Cool, lingerie! But I couldn't do anything about it right? She said "that time of the month". So with some minimal action I went to bed. 5 minutes later she is sobbing and crying and practically going psycho in the bedroom saying I don't love her and all that anymore because we don't make love. I was like... WTF?! You just told me today that it was that time of the month. Then she yells back... "NO MORE ALREADY LA!". So I asked her back... how the hell was I supposed to know that...

... and it went on and on and on... for about 3 long ugly hours.</description>

		<description>It might be difficult for someone who had bad experiences before to give it all out again. 
You have 2 options; either you keep feeling this way and miss out on all the extras 
or 
you give him and yourself one more chance. A chance that you might not get in the future. A chance that once you missed it, there is no turning back. 
 
You are feeling insecure because you think too much about the end result of the relationship. But you are actually missing the main part, which is the process itself. 
For me, enjoying each and every moment is more important that the final product. 
Look back at what you guys did together.
I am confident that you will get your answer there. </description>
