To those who have partners out there (husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc..), are you sure with your partner that he/she will be you for the rest of your life?

I really don't know the answer to that question. I have been married for 21 years, but it has been a rocky 21 years. We are completely opposite in everything. I don't enjoy spending time with him, and he pretty much gets on my last nerve A LOT! We separated for 6 months this year, but my 13 year old son was having a tough time with the situation. (I moved 1100 miles away) So he moved to where I was with my son, and my son is happy now. But I'm not. I really believe that the only reason my hubby stays with me, is because it's easier for him than to go find someone else if we split. He likes having a wife. I just don't think it'e 'me'. I don't know how he could possibly be with me because he loves me, because I really am a $%&$! most of the time. I was happier in the 6 months we were apart than I have been in my life. I felt free. Now, I am cranky most of the time, and a nag. I don't know if I will stay with him once my son grows up.

It is sad that the happiest you have been was when you and your husband split for six months. I am sure that you will not stay with him once your son is grown up. Having a child complicates a relationship I think. If a couple don't get on well they may just stay together for the children's sake. Good luck.

I was charmed when I met my man. However as time goes on I see how poorly we get on. If we didn't have a child I would have split up from him. I wonder if it is better to end things when our child is a baby. I have read that older children can suffer for two years after seeing their parents split up.

No one person for another is guaranteed eternal because of external influences that CANNOT be controlled by ourselves alone. However, long-lasting, true, completely honest, 100% trusting, sharing of all bad and good LOVE filled relationships do exist, harmoniously between two complete people. It exists because those two people never look to the other for something that is missing within themself and they never take a good thing for granted. It is so important to really love, respect and have faith in YOURSELF before you can truly believe in 'growing old with this person till the day of my last breath . . .' sharing the light, Miss Erica Hidvegi, the Enlightenment Advisor,B.A. Psych (spclztn in Child Dvlpt & Abnrml), M.A. Transpersonal Psych Studies- Cnslng/ Author, Artist, Photographer, Entrepreneur & Freelance extraordinaire A site for learning of the Transpersonal Relationships in Human Nature . . . http://groups.msn.com/TranspersonalRelationships/

In order to live a CUTE life,one need to remain commited in the relationship and just expect and believe the other one as same. There should be no room for such questions.it spoils the fun of life. 'WHERE THERE IS FEAR ,THERE IS NO FAITH' REGARDS, HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU.
