• doubt and ambivalence is the gas chamber of relationships. if you've got doubt and ambivalence like that, hash it out with them, address it, or move on. but it's crazy to expect someone to stay in relationship with you when you're always doubting them.
  • i don't have relationship goals. instead i have values that determine my relationships.
  • i'd consider relationships more fulfilling if it felt like i was getting something out of them that i want. i know this sounds selfish, but this is where i'm at.
  • i'm not the type to yell and scream. i've never had makeup sex. if i'm with someone and i don't feel like we can serve our best nature in the relationship i'll just end it.
  • it's okay for relationships to end based on incompatibility. they can still be a good person, but perhaps in the wrong role of your life.
  • the irony with feeling whole without a relationship is that you don't feel like you need one, and it makes you less prone to searching for one.
  • the minute they choose someone else over you the relationships is dead. move on.
  • the minute you slip out of character and start talking about how so and so will do a better job than your current partner, your relationship is done.
  • think of relationships as purchasing a high value item without the warranty. whatever you got, you're stuck with.
  • you can't change someone. no matter how much you want them to, the other person has to change for themselves, not to appease you.
