Always keep this in mind


When you’re with your girlfriend/wife, know she can leave you anytime she wants to matter how much you beg her to stay, and block your every contact, possibly leaving you for another man. Please appreciate your partner because you never know when it’ll end.

That's true of any human relationship. Your friends can decide they don't like you any more, your boss can fire you if you piss them off, spouses can file for divorce, your relatives can decide to stop speaking to you, even your children can decide you're "toxic" and they need space... if you don't appreciate them and put effort into the relationship.

How can anyone not be aware of that?

reply

I’m saying appreciate them so you don’t lose them.

reply

Yes. That's part of the "adulting" thing.

Never take your relationships for granted. It’s happened to me many times and I’ve begged many times to no avail.

reply

It's happened before, and you didn't change your ways when you met the next gal?

That's the thing, some people go through life being jerks to the people they claim to love, and the jerkitude creates problems, and their brilliant solution to the problem is to go out and look for someone who will put up with a jerk. Don't be that person, work on your relationship skills, because yeah. Begging when they're completely fed up with you doesn't work.

Very well put!

Not being negative, just being honest. Your relationships the everything, your bread and butter. It should inspire you to tell your girlfriend and friends how much you love them.

You need to be able to be good on your own too. In case the partner ever did leave … or something happened. You can’t put all your energy into someone else. And if you have to beg someone to stay would it be worth it if they did? If someone loves you they should not have to be begged to come back. Maybe I’m missing the whole point …

reply

Ok.

Not only that, but a person has to be "good on their own" to attract a partner! Trying to spark up a relationship when you're radiating "I'm nothing without you" energy, tells any potential partner that you have nothing to offer except neediness.
