[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saying a relationship will make everything better is misguided. It should compliment your life not make you whole or better.[/quote] I don't think that anyone is disputing that. A healthy relationship is consistent of two "whole" people who make a decision to share their lives, not completely give their entire life away. Part of that means that you have to have a life outside of the relationship - so that you don't depend on another person for happiness, support, etc. I have always maintained that people in relationships should continue to do the things they enjoyed before - girl's/guy's nights out, hobbies, etc. That way, you don't become overly dependent on the other person. Mathematically, it looks like this: Person A 100% Person B 100% Person A gives 50% to their relationship while maintaining the other 50% for themselves. Person B reciprocates and gives 50% to their relationship, while also maintaining 50% for themselves. [/quote]
