- I have learned not to ask a couple questions about their early
- relationship when they are together, because always seem to
- have such different views of it, and often feel they should
- remember it all the same way. One partner remembers seeing the
- other long before the other noticed the first. On partner
- remembers dating as if it were a military campaign, the other
- seems to think things just fell into place. And on and on.
-
- But in the early stages of a relationship, communications are
- not very good. And I don't think it is really important or
- profitable to try to come to a common understanding after
- the fact. Probably better that both can keep their fond
- memories of how things got started, even if they don't
- agree.
-
- Peace,
- Michael.
