All of the above. Sweet things like my babee does for me help a lot. They are always a surprise, he anticipates my movements. I hope he knows how much I appreciate just knowing he is there, ahead of me making things better. : )

Spending time doing mutually enjoyable things together, while also knowing when to give your parter their own space to explore the friends and things they are interested in.

So true! It's great to be loved and suffocating to be smothered!

Forgiving others when they upset you. It's unavoidable. Someone will get on your bad side eventually - even not meaning to upset you.

Forgiveness is important. I think once I learned I could forgive my own molesters there's nobody I can't forgive now.

Trust and respect

Also important and sometimes very fragile! Intertwined both with each other and forgiveness. Thank you for these important additions to my quick list.

5-17-2017 First you must both define the relationship the same way. It doesn't matter what your definition is as long as you both use the same one. Second is taking care of responsibilities. Responsibilities are spelled out in your definition, that's why you both have to have the same one.

Maybe that's why I suck at relationships. I tend to be more emotional than analytical.

To not think of it as a relationship and quantify it. You don't think of "family" as a relationship but it's your very first one and the one you learn the most from. The difference between a "good" and "bad" relationship is your role in it. If you're doing all the work and are the others "option," then you are going to suffer in it.

I can relate. I've learned a lot from bad relationships. Especially my first family one! Being an 'option' goes back to what Baba said about respect. Of course it also reflects on your own self esteem if you let it continue. Relationships are never easy in the long run.
