I don't think love conquers all, so you need to pick someone you truly enjoy being around, know you can trust and count on, someone with similiar values and life goals, etc. Ups and downs are normal, doubts sometimes are normal, but if you can't stand to be touched by your partner and everything they do annoys then maybe you didn't pick the right person.

That's what I find weird about this meme. How can you still love someone that you can't stand to touch you?

Yeah, I tend to think that if that's the case, then maybe things were always out of balance. Sometimes a couple can overlook the unbalance because other things may seem good...but time is ALWAYS the equalizer.

You are right lilyflower, but think about it, it's true. You over come the bother because you are working on the relationship to keep it going in the right direction, so in the end you don't notice the bother. Same with the touch, sometimes it happens when you are busy thinking about some difficult problem. Again, you overlook it because you want the best for your relationship, and want it to keep moving forward...

Yeah, that's the biggest problem I find w/ that article. It gives false hope to failing, unhealthy, or unfulfilling relationships.




I did find this, which I think is a helpful way of figuring out why certain relationships work/don't work...
