…..we heard what the other was saying, but no one was really listening. If we aren’t listening to one another, maybe we are more prone to take heed of a third party.
I like..
“I started to wonder whether men and women even talk to each other. I mean really talk — easily and freely, without reservation — like we do with our friends. I even started to wonder whether men and women considered each other friends, or if we automatically compartmentalized our relationships: We’re either lovers or we’re platonic friends, but not both. Truth be told, the comments I heard made me wonder — despite all the emphatic “I love men” and “I love women” declarations — whether men and women really even liked each other at all.”
I strongly agree communication and trust are the most important elements of a successful relationship! why does it seem like we’re failing at one, if not both of those functions?
I realize and I’m thankful for another day, another chance.
