Remember this: Your only job in on-going relationships is to make the other person feel good, in all sorts of ways. If you do that the other person, will move heaven and earth to come to you or stay with you. If you do not do that, then eventually they will leave. Trust, honesty, clarity......a ll that will pales in comparison to the power of making the person feel good. If you complain and put down the relationship, it will evaporate much quicker as well. It doesn't matter, if you are right or wrong or they are right or wrong.......If you result, then there's only one rule.
