Sense2Love

Something I’ve noticed from some comments here, as well as from people I see, is a concern about how a relationship is perceived by others. I’ve written about listening to others when they are concerned about the relationship you are in, especially if they are seeing signs of abuse. However, sometimes others are judgmental about issues which may not be as important. When opposite attract, this can be especially true. Sometimes, the college graduate falls in love with the high school dropout. The wealthy lady falls for the destitute man. Differences in age, educational history, race, social background, finances and other benchmarks of society often get friends and family talking. But often these talks aren’t constructive, and you are likely the best judge of how good your relationship is in these areas. Of course, you’ll run into some extra bumps along the way because of these differences. But these bumps may be a good test of your relationship, to see if it can weather these storms. So these “flaws” can become strengths in a relationship!

Like a previous list posted here suggests, so long as you feel loved, and do not feel better when you’re apart from the other person, you’ve probably got a good base. Enjoy!
