can you totally be your self when you are with your partner?

i am always myself in front of my love. Infact, she told me to be myself in front of her. I tried to be over my head and sometimes be someone else. lol. I tried to pretend being someone else. But all she said was that she likes me for the way i am. lol. I guess i made a fool out of myself, but nonetheless, it was a darn good lesson to learn. Even though she didn't mean to teach me or soemthing, i take it that way. And i better not tell her that !!!! lol. or she'll start blaming herself. But yea, its not about how much you know about the person, but if you really can be urself no matetr what. Infact, i think thats what they would like of you anyways.

i can totally be myself with my guy. he's caring,understanding and sooo in love. like i have a very bad temper but i show it only at home - at work/with friends, i'm this cool girl who never gets mad at anyone. LOL. but with him - i can show my anger and i know he'll understand me and try to console me instead of giving up on me and leaving me. he's a darling.

You know what? I feel I can be completely myself around my partner and I have since the day we actually met. We had conversed for almost two years over the internet before meeting and when we did, our conversations were so natural, it's just like someone had swooped in and removed the computers. I loved how easy it was to talk to my other half without even missing a beat. We laughed and joked and had a blast. I believe that was one of the things that made our first date so memorable. I love that we are so comfortable around each other that even when we are in a hotel we can still be ourselves. It actually doesn't't matter where we are, we could be in a bowling alley or a hotel, or in the middle of no where & we would still be able to act like we do when we in the comfort of our own home. I think of all the times we have gone to this one specific hotel. Each time is a total blast because we know we can just let go and relax and have a good time there instead of worrying about the outside world and the way they see us goof around and be silly. We don't ever have to pretend that we're something that we're not. I know we sometimes wil get certain people judging us on the way we act when we're around each other. Sometimes I think it's because people are jealous of the relationship we have. How close we are. I love that we can confide in each other whenever we have an issue or a problem that we need help to solve. We work as a team to get these problems taken care of and as well to do pretty much everything around the house. It's good to know that we can rely on each other and help each other out when we need it. I've never had a partner who has ever been this co-operative before in my life. I love how we always try to work together towards a common goal instead of trying to work against each other. For example, when I am doing housework and I'm vacuuming, even when my other half is exhausted after a hard day at work.. He is still there trying to fold up blankets or tuck in the brown throw in one of the couches that we have. He always seems to find ways to make himself useful. I love how we always will watch our favorite television together and we'll laugh uncontrollably or depending on what other type of show is on, I might suggest we watch a movie instead. Even then we have a good variety of movies that we can choose from to watch together. I am happy that I am able to watch so many different movies with my other half. I love sharing that experience with him! In conclusion.. I feel I am able to be myself around my other half. The examples I had used above are the reasons as to why I feel I can be myself around my other half.. I also feel that.. There are no mind games when it comes to our relationship. I love that we don't have to use mind games to be ourselves around each other. I love how we are one of the few couples out there who are able to be ourselves without any hesitation! . . Thanks for allowing me to share! xx

yes, of course. I think at first there is an awkwardness about and around each other, but after being married for a little while I think we get to be comfortable with each other and we can be more relaxed to do and say as we wish with our partners without the fear of rejection. My hubby and I have been married for 6 years, and I'd like to think we know each other well, I told him of my past and he told of his, I told him I don't want any surprises on both our parts, cause we dont' know what people may say or do, at least when this happens, you can say, oh yeah, I know that one, she/he told me about it already. We can just shrug it off and smile at them.

if you're not yourself with your loved one, than WHEN are you yourself? When do you feel free to express yourself without any borderlines? it's the most important thing in a relationship:keeping communication at a high level. i think this is even the key...after love of course :)

i think you truly love a person if you show the real you when you're with them. You don't have to pretend that you're someone else: someone that would please them. If in the course of your relationship, you're trying to be the person that you can be (to the point that you're pretending), think about it again. =)

I think that I can I have become very comfortable with her.

I can be myself anytime. My husband doesn't control me & I don't control him. We knew each other for years before we even dated. That was plenty of time to know each other. If he didn't like the real me & I didn't like the real him, it never would have even gotten to the dating stage.

Yes I can totally be myself around my fiancé, I know I don't have to hide anything around him, he loves me for who and what I am. As far as the mind game/guessing game for couples or partners, could we win? I have no idea. I know that may sound strange but the reason I would not jump straight away and say yes we could win is that it would really depend on the questions, if for example they were simple things like favourite colour, favourite music, favourite author then yes I think we would stand a very good chance of being able to win but if the questions were more in-depth and concerned the past then maybe not. Why? Simply because although we have been together for just over 5 years and we know all the really major and important things about each other I know there is still a lot of things about my past that my fiancé does not know, not because I have hid it from him or don't want to tell just because they are things that haven't came up in conversation so far and if/when they do I will have no problems telling/talking about them with him and I think/hope he feels the same way. After all I love him for who he is now, there are very few things that he could tell me have happened in the past that could change that.

yes, you can. it's hard to pretend to be someone else and i wouldn't waste my time doing that for the sake of romantic love. Besides, I think its much more romantic to be who you are to the other person and find sweet ways of expressing your feelings to each other.

My boyfriend and I would probably get good scores if we were to join a guessing game for couples. Im that confident cause I know we talk about anything - eventhough we know the other will get mad or pissed off. I believe that you should be yourself in a relationship for it go start off right and go smoothly. I remember the first time we ever fought, I didnt tell him why i got really mad because Im scared he might not understand and he said, if I would hold back things and not be honest, thats when our communication stops. So after that, we both tried our best to be honest and open to each other.

Yes you can be yourself when you're with your partner or should I say you HAVE to BE YOURSELF when you're with your partner...it's useless being in a relationship if you are pretending to be someone else. You have to be comfortable with your partner and your partner in turn should accept you for the real you or for who you are. I myself make sure that my partner sees the real me. I am a very straightforward person. I show my partner my "true colors" and if I feel that he doesn't accept me or love me for who I am, then that means that he's not the one for me. Right now, my boyfriend is someone who has the same attitude and likes as me that's why I can say we are really comfortable with each other and he accepts me for being me. That's why I am happy right now = )
