What Means Respect in a Relationship?
Relationships are full of communication skills, full of norms and relationships are full of values. Each individual has norms and values you bring into a relationship. Norms and values you have been taught by your parents, teachers, clubs you went to, your (former) friends and the life events you have been through. They stick with you forever, but you also think about whether you want to implement norms and values into your daily life right now.

What Connects Us
Let's explore the subject of soul ties or more commonly known as connections between two lovers. But what can be considered a connection? Well in my opinion and mine alone a connection is when I can share my interests or a loved hobby with a special someone. To me there's nothing more sexy to me than a woman enjoying herself not just with me,but with the activity I enjoy myself. As the picture suggests these two are genuinely enjoying each other's company at home comfortably in their element. No expensive restaurants,clubs,parties,or family functions. Don't get me wrong those things are just as important date nights are a no brainer they break up the stale cycle of everyday life. I would love to talk about date nights one day but that's not the topic of this writing as of now connections are. I didn't consider connections between two people in a relationship to be important until I witnessed a few things in my own life. The first time I considered a connection but I didn't realize it was when I was watching a show called The Handmaid's Tale. It was one particular scene where Elizabeth Moss's character discovered the man house needed a connection with her in order for him to be able to perform the procreation ritual. That specific connection was a game of chess. It's been a while since I saw the show so please don't bother correcting me. That show was the first time I thought about connections so needless to say I brushed it off as a good plot to keep the show moving forward. As time went on I found myself in some pretty hectic relationships,or if I'm going to be honest here I was majorly disconnected from the women I was dating. I wasn't emotionally available. I could care less if they left me or stuck around most didn't. As I thought back to those relationships I came up with a common denominator: I had no connection with them at all. I always ended up doing the things or heavily involved in their interests, and far too often I ended doing the things I liked alone. Before we move forward lets address that awkward ass elephant in the room you know the one that question that's forming in your head. "If a connection is so important to this guy then why in the world did he not say anything to these women?" Awww yes communication yet another important factor in a relationship. Here's the answer to that question I DID, and they were not interested. I'm not going to go into detail with every relationship I was in so I'll just give you some examples of the events of my latest relationship. Going into this relationship I admit I didn't express the importance of her participating in anyone of my interests. I expressed to her that my number one passion above all is writing the only thing I asked her to do is read some of my work

Little Bit Awkward
I have thought about my life so far and I realized I have always felt lonely, awkward, competitive and a little clueless of my surroundings. I have a lot of qualities as a multifaceted person and many I truly love, but with all the stories I envisioned telling here I realized some of the worst qualities come through a lot stronger. I do appreciate being awkward except in the way that it leaves me misunderstood and pretty lonely. My cluelessness is what I would call a tangent of my awkwardness because it is not about being self involved or uncaring and instead it is about being so anxious about how I am coming across that I inevitably come across quite poorly. My story shows all my worst traits melding together in one mess of a night.

Out to Sea
I was 15, maybe 16 and the oldest son of a family friend had taken me under his wing. He had given me a surfboard he didn't use anymore, took me surfing, took me to my first 21 and over punk show( which I felt so cool because I had to sneak into being that I was 14), he basically took me on many adventures because we had similar interests. I, of course, also had a huge crush on him and never wanted him to think what I was doing was wrong or stupid. He was always protective of me and if a boy or guy was looking at me he would stare them down or be like how dare he look at her like that; he was basically my overprotective older brother that I happened to have a crush on and he was none the wiser. In this story I didn't want to invite his disapproval and so I ended up making a complete fool of myself while at the same time ending any chance at romance with the hottest boy I had ever met.

The things you do for love.
What's better than love? No really. What's better than having a person you could envision spending the rest of your life with? Someone you could travel the world, spend holidays, and have kids with? When we boil life down, it's ultimately about finding your purpose and/or your partner. If you're not shooting to be with the likes of Steve Jobs, Steven Tyler, or The Rock then maybe you'd prefer a much more conservative lifestyle; nevertheless, in the end, everyone wants someone. I was 15 when I met the mother of my child and at the time I had no conception of what real love was or how it may feel coming from a space of casual dating. From the time I was 15 to 20 years old (and still sometimes to this day), I was in a back and forth fight with my own ego and emotions about myself and unknowingly slowly causing the decay of love I was supposed to be nurturing and sharing with the newest member of my family and mother of my daughter. Young love is never easy and once you're 10 ft deep under a wave of emotions you're drowning in the thought of always having that person around then disappointment always ensues with frustration and anger when you or that person no longer want to "do this". My ego and need to feel in control lead me into a situation with my daughter's mom where I not only made an ass of myself but completely disrespected her intelligence and place in my life.

But Do We Have Time?
“We have plenty of time.” He says to me, a smile playing on his lips. He is always tries to make lighter of the situation. Sometimes it works. Other times it doesn’t. He always says we have plenty of time. I don’t think he realizes that my time is running out.

The Art of the Breaking Up
Whether you have been dating for three months or three years, if you know he is not your forever, then you need to move on. This can create the problem of "How do I break up." And no matter how much you may pride yourself in being a rational & reasonable thinker. We are emotional beings. Our actions and decisions typically come from an emotional perspective. Relationships involve our emotions. So YES, breakups are an emotional experience. You may have been in the relationship for the wrong reasons. And you probably should not have let it get started in the first place. More often than not, it was a relationship of convenience, which has finally run its course. And when I say convenience... I really mean: You were clearly getting something out of it, so you stayed too long. Whether that was emotional support, sexual gratification, or financial stability. Breaking up with someone can be uncomfortable and tricky.
