@Castenmas If this is the best answer to my question, OMG, I am overthinking.😄

@JustAsking It’s not as complicated as people would like to tell you.

@Castenmas 👍🏼❤️

@Lilymoon 👍🏼❤️

@Lilymoon nicely put. Nothing to add.

@SW-User Ty

@SW-User what do you mean by feeling secured?

@JustAsking feeling safe, feeling like I can be myself completely and be accepted and that they have my back

@SW-User got it…❤️

@Busybee333 mutual will to grow together in what specific?

@JustAsking In life. In every area. Some days growth feels nice, you see results from previous efforts or experience something positive. Other days, growth is painful, when you go through hardships and learn life's lessons. Wanting to grow and improve constantly, as a mindset, and being ready to take it all on, [u]together[/u], will set the ground for a relationship that deepens and evolves stronger with time. It has to have this drive to be in motion. Each person has their own character. Walking the path alone is challenging enough.. walking it together, can be easier or harder, depending on the situation... You are whole and complete on your own, (contrary to popular belief, you don't need someone to "complete" you). However, on the long run, if life gave you a choice, and you decided to build a strong relationship, it would be more fulfilling to be with someone that makes you feel that you are certainly fitted for each other, just like corresponding pieces of a puzzle.

@SinlessOnslaught but what do you mean with “even if it’s hard”?

@JustAsking When you have to make a sacrifice for the relationship like time or money.

@JustNik 👍🏼❤️❤️❤️

@tj78610 what makes you happy in a relationship then?

@JustAsking i think its a lot of things that boil down to 2 basic elements - genuine care for the other person, often/usually putting the other person's needs above your own (and vice versa), and then just trying to make each other happy.

When a partner cares for me and tries to make me happy, then I will be happy. And it leaks into all phases of life too.

Like I need positive feedback and caring touch. If a woman genuinely attempts those 2 things, Im golden.

Then I need to reciprocate her needs.

@hunkalove you’re too easy..😂

@Nanoose Omg, Donnie and Marie.

@Human1000 Yea that was one of our jokes - Your a little bit country and I'm a little bit rock and roll. Cheers and happy weekend

@Nanoose Cheers!

@BigBulge I hope you’re in a successful one.😁

@JustAsking Yes, our relationship is very successful. Saturday night I had 3 male friends over for some PNP. They gave her a real workout.

@hippyjoe1955 I know right?!😝

@Human1000 👍🏼❤️

@JustAsking Yeah, I don’t really buy the “relationships require hard work” stuff. I think that’s a rationalization for people who are unhappy in theirs.

@Human1000 I agree.
