Alright everybody lets all stop, take a deep breath, lose our paranoia and have happy thoughts!!!!!!!

I'm not going to give you realtioship advice and i'm not going to tell you my life story.

I'm just going to say a few things... some things to think about!

Sometimes things are not as we perceive them. We often misunderstand what is happening or what we read or hear.

Sometimes it is because of our own individual perceptions. At other times it is because of what influences us at the moment.....

Matters are not always as gloomy as they seem....

I have recently experienced this myself. We all are capable of making mistakes. What we say or write may be misunderstood or sometimes we do not understand what our girlfriend/boyfriend/fiance meant......

We can both have major misunderstandings.

Simply what I say to you is that before we dump (throw) that person maybe we should examine matters more carefully.

We should ask more questions and ask them directly. Remember sometimes things are not as they seem.

Sometimes things are not as bad as we perceive them, so becareful and don't make decisions you may regret later.

Thanks Searcher!

Yes... language is interesting. It permits communication, but often times we don't receive the whole picture through verbal communication (language) alone. There's body language, cultural viewpoints, personal viewpoints and ethics involved. But what we (as human beings) have is language to help effectively communicate our wants and needs. But often times, we don't effectively use our words to communicate our needs. And often times, we assume that people should understand our point of view.

I like your post because (at least to me) it encourages us to be open-minded and to look at things in the best light. I made that mistake even recently, but I too took a deep breath and a step back, and re-evaluated the situation and realized that it was my mistake. After that, everything was great.

This is the kind of thing that can not be posted too many times!
Add some patience, and you have what it takes to make things work.

I know you have had some turbulent times Searcher, but I am glad things are working for you now
