Long ago a friend made the point that most people don’t discuss their relationship desires before going in. That still hits. Obviously, I’d agree that humans should discuss their desires before pursing a relationship. Many times people don’t & then get upset when their feelings get hurt. This can be partially alleviated by having all the talks first. Even then, humans grow & change daily so it’s not a perfect solution.
Intentions matter but so do actions. If one partner chooses to be selfish, abusing their partner … then it no longer matters what the intentions were. There is only so much that humans can take.
I believe in Agape Love supremacy. It doesn’t mean I’m a perfect human. Women have been abused by nefarious men for far too long. Once trust is gone, it’s almost never going to be the same in a relationship. But trust is one of my values.
Possibly discussing the values one has & proving that prior to being a relationship is a better indication of relationship success.
Said as one who was friends with someone prior to dating them. It’s the best romantic 🥰 relationship I’ve ever had.
Still though: even after discussing everything ahead of time we had small issues that needed addressing. Cause humans always human.
Lastly, I’m a switch so not sure how that would even play into other FLR. My former partner basically worships me. Out of respect for him I never chose to be with another. Even though we discussed a DADT prior to becoming a couple.
Stranger things have happened. Never thought I’d enjoy being monogamous. But it’s kind of perfect being with only one person & loving them in every way.
The only reason we aren’t together now is because I’ve lost my mind over someone else. But he’s an honorable man & respects that. After he learned the whole story.
Also, I’m definitely not an expert on anything besides my own life so take that as you will. 😂
