ChasingBlueSky 0 #26 October 13, 2005 Quote Skydiving. Want a good, strong and healthy relationship? Then don't date a skydiver. As for me - it's trust, honesty, loyalty, acceptance, fidelety, etc....you get the point. I can deal with most anything else....it's amazing how hard it is to find a person with all of those traits._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Diversgodown 0 #28 October 13, 2005 Quoteno drama I second that. and TRUST I just lost trust in my SO and that will be all she wrote tonight. Even though they were all little lies and she didn't tell me because she "knows how mad I get". once TRUST is gone there is nothing else. and that is one thing that I don't give back easily if ever. and would it be wrong to get mad if her and her friend went back to a guys house after a night out at the bar with two guys because her friend wanted to get laid. Call me silly (funny thing is I don't thing I would have been mad if she told me) ***Glory Favors the Bold*** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JUDYJ 0 #29 October 13, 2005 Perfection --- a term that changes with the wind and with who we are in the wind. I don't mind earning trust. I don't mind giving more than I get. I don't really need perfection all the time. I think it's more important to really l-i-k-e someone. We fall in love with a perfect sunset...a perfect skydive...a perfect body, etc. Falling in love is so easy. But really liking who someone is...now that's not so easy. IF you are going to be Stupid - you better be tough! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I call bullshit. I don't think you're any more or less likely to find those traits in a skydiver vs. a whuffo."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

wmw999 2,485 #31 October 13, 2005 A good SO gives you the room you need, and takes the room they need. They acknowledge the differences between you and use them to grow. It helps if you do the same. They also like to snuggle Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

Gone_Skiing 0 #33 October 13, 2005 There's really two different issues here. What makes a good S.O. - Loves you for who you are. What make a good LTR - Being excited to see who you become and wanting to be a part of that ever changing process. I think way too many people (myself included) either want someone for who they are today or who they could be. We will never be either for very long. My wife and I got married because we both realized that we wanted nothing more than walk the path of life together and see where it takes us. You never know what's around the corner, we just know we want to be there together. Ok, the sex is great too.-- I used to pray to God for a bicycle. Then I realized God doesn't work that way. So I stole one and prayed for forgiveness. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boinky 0 #39 October 13, 2005 QuoteWant a good, strong and healthy relationship? Then don't date a skydiver. I got out of a relationship with a non-skydiver. He claimed he was supportive. Bought me gear, encouraged me to go on skydiving trips. He'd tell my stories about my adventures before I could. Then bitched at me the whole time afterwards that I spent all my time skydiving and was never home any more. I don't get it...urge me to go and chase my dream and then crucify me for doing what you encouraged me to do. It had nothing to do with whether he was a skydiver or not. It had to do with the fact that he was threatened by my being happy with who I was now that I AM a skydiver. But my new S.O. is a very understanding man. Happily, he is a skydiver (as you all may know). He REALLY wants me to achieve my goals and be the very best that I can be.Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

seekfun 0 #40 October 13, 2005 I think a lot of things can make a good S.O. And, for each of us, the definition may be fluid as things affect our lives and the lives of the S.O.s in question. I will tell you one thing from experience, however: if you've got a good S.O., never give up the chase."...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #41 October 13, 2005 I'm really in it for the long-haul. A good S.O. is someone who can stick with me, even when things get tough (and sooner or later, they will), knowing that we can both commit to making things better. Of course if things don't get better (for example two-years with my alcoholic ex), then it's time to re-evaluate.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

Makes sense to me Phil...I'll add that regardless of trying times and being able to get thru them as a "team" that they love me unconditionally just as I love them unconditionally. Sounds simple and inexpensive, doesn't it? BTW..let me know when you're heading back this way "coach" _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paige 0 #50 October 14, 2005 QuoteI think I've learned so much over the last couple of years about human nature. A good SO needs to be able to handle it when you aren't perfect. Or break your leg. The S/O needs to understand that when you have an accident or break a bone that you need them there to help out. Hell I couldn't even carry my dinner plate or go to the bathroom without a fight. It's important for the S/O to be there when it isn't easy for them, it may be very tough to help someone through a time in their life like that but you don't get a second chance at these matters. Do it right the first time, don't life with regret. More importantly, the S/O should listen to what the other needs. Don't abandon someone when they need you the most. Be there, be actively involved, and give love anyway you know how.Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
