- kurnik@lds.loral.com (Timothy J. Kurnik) says:
-
- "Between my girlfriend and I, there's never a time that we part
- and don't say "I love you." Even hanging up from the phone.
- Sometimes
- we say it 3 or 4 times:
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
- Talk to ya tomorrow.
- OK. I love you, babe.
- I love you, too, honey.
- Bye.
- Bye.
-
- I can tell if something's wrong or something's bothering her by
- the
- way she says it. And, of course, if she's mad or upset with me,
- she's
- a little more hesitant about saying it. She and I both hate to
- part on
- bad terms. We try to work out our problems before we leave,
- sleep, etc.
- Even if it means staying up all night on the phone.
-
- Anyway, to make a long story longer, I tell her everything.
- EVERYTHING.
- She knows when I'm happy, sad, confused, angry, depressed,
- upset, excited,
- etc. And she appreciates that because she doesn't have to
- guess. She,
- on the other hand, doesn't open up as much. She has a difficult
- time
- putting her feelings into words. That makes it hard for me
- sometimes
- because I can't help her or do things to make it better if she
- doesn't
- communicate with me. She tries, though. My point is,
- communicate. It's
- kept my girlfriend and I together for 20 months."
-
- I have the same situation. I have a girlfriend that lives in
- NJ. I'm in Baltimore, MD. We tell each other everything, and we
- are very open and honest. I think this is very important.
-
- She doesn't open up much, but she is getting better at
- expressing herself, and I'm proud of her for trying. I'm willing
- to deal with that little drawback. I'm sure I do things she
- doesn't care for as well.
-
- Yes, communication is very important, for if you don't have
- that, there's no sense in continuing with that particular person.
