Well, I am like the black widow. I love it first ....then I eat it.

It's a dramatic cycle.

being individuals with different perspectives can sometimes strengthen a relationship. arguing politics, religion (he is christian, or recently theist, and i am atheist), morality and philosophy for many hours over pizza with my husband-to-be (at the time) was an incredible bonding experience. i guess maybe not every couple wants to debate though!

Aren't you ever worried that the differences could tear apart your relationship?

after 20 years together (16 years married), i'm not worried at all. we distinguish debates from arguments. funny though... in our debates we have come to agree more now than we did way back, so we have discussions that consist of "i think blah blah blah"... "really? me too!". i guess now we understand better where the other person is coming from.

I wish i could have that kind of stability... my ex left me for no apparent reason, so I couldn't even address the issue properly...

well, we weren't stable to start with. for unrelated reasons, we roke up 8 times before we got married. but he wasn't the first guy i dated (or vice versa). i had to fail and get rejected and break up with other poeple for a while first.

But you still got with him when you were 18... I'm well past that time now and the only sign of possible improvement is that hopefully I will have a decent job next year

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

true that i was very young. i crammed in a bunch of various kinds of relationships and experiences prior to him (and when we would break up). to meet people, i spent time at parties, playing crosswords by myself (or asking the whole group crazy questions like "if you had to be a book, which one would you be?"). this drew poeple to me.

i also found a group of friends at the time who understood my need for a great deal of solitude. i do understand that it isn't that easy for everyone to find friends like that. but i also didn't keep friends for very long, so i was always on the lookout for new people to meet.

but even considering my solitary tendencies, i went out of the house most nights, even just by myself to a cafe or donut shop to read or draw. i also volunteered for stuff where i didn't know anybody, and took acting classes. and i went to art openings and other events alone. it exposed me to lot of people and allowed me to move in different social groups better, even if i never was able to actually integrate.

This.

Hummus is good, but hummus with Dave's Insanity or 357 Mad Dog is even better

Men have plenty of stereotypical BS , but not this one (at least not so common among men).

In fact, usually men are the opposite : too stubborn to change anything , including bad habits.

Usually guys fake changes (before getting the girl) while girls completely change during the relationship...
