| Relationship = scary dependence?? Posted: 3/9/2007 10:40:23 AM | I love analogies, even though they are the weakest form of argument. Saying that, here ya' go: I recently took a trip out of state and spent five days away from home. I really missed my dog. Does that mean I should see this "relationship" in a negative light? If I had a significant other, wouldn't I miss that someone a lot more than a dog? Would that be unhealthy? Of course not.
I don't think in terms of dependence when thinking of a new relationship anyway. I think in terms of choices and desire.
The first year to 18 months are going to be a rollercoaster anyway. If you're in a good relationship, then you won't WANT to spend time apart. This isn't about NEED. It's about DESIRE.
It sounds like you're a little frightened by how strong your feelings are. That's natural. But, if I were you, I'd enjoy feeling that way. It's not something you experience everyday. | |
