Yet another random link to dating advice. I wonder if this has been posted before.

I actually rather like this article.

Amen to that. But most people are incapable of being 'healthy' probably myself included.

That's a really good link. Thanks for posting it.

Quote:
It’s fine to get upset at your partner or to not like something about them. That’s called being a normal human being. But understand that committing to a person and always liking a person are not the same thing. One can be committed to someone and not like everything about them. One can be eternally devoted to someone yet actually be annoyed or angered by their partner at times. On the contrary, two partners who are capable of communicating feedback and criticism towards one another only without judgment or blackmail will strengthen their commitment to one another in the long-run.


I thought this was a very realistic statement.
