What mutual views, beliefs, interests and activities strengthen and sustain your relationship?

Were any of these responsible for you connecting?

Has a change in any of these adversely affected your relationship?

Peace,

I believe that in order for a man to have a relationship with me (A meaningful one), he'd have to have a love for kids, a strong moral personality, and a sense of humor. I don't take kindly to people who lie, even the little white lies, or people who always wish "that baby would shut up" in the department store. He would have to look at life with an eye for the little things, and be able to laugh at himself, and know when he's wrong, or when he's right. He can't give in to pressure when he knows that something is right. I don't like my men emotionally weak.

He could be a republican, I can live with that. He could watch football endlessly on TV, I could handle that, too. It's that larger things, not the picky things, that I look for when I'm in a relationship.
 
He would need to be willing to meet me on common ground as an equal, not expect me to fit into a space he just happened to have in his life. There would need to be an openness, love of life, humor, children, and family within him as well.

I believe firmly in compromise, most all things can be resolved if you are willing and want to try.

It would not matter if our religions differed, if he did not fit the idea in my head of what I was looking for, all that would matter would be if he touched my soul, if we could lose track of time just talking, and so many other little things. The outside is irrelavant, what a person looks like changes over time but the inside remains and grows better and better.
 
I am glad to see that your back. Missed you.

I think our children have sustained our relationship. It is our one big interest.

It could be interesting when both of our children have left. But I doubt it. They will still be part of our lives.
 
for us

a mutual desire to be unto ourselves but yet together;
a mutual search for uniqueness but yet a blending;
a mutual feeling of self-fulfillment but yet holding hands;
a mutual yearning to stand alone but yet the strength to ask for support;
a mutual expectation and giving of respect;
the abiility to be two....and yet be one ~

I am one of the lucky ones. By the time me and mine met face to face, we knew we had some common interests, but when we spent real life time together, we found that each of us completed something inside the other that had been missing.

We both have a child, mine older, with someone we did not marry.
We both have family we are somewhat removed from, me more than him.
We both have made serious mistakes in past relationships by being Mr/Ms. Right-Here-Right-Now rather then Mr/Ms Right for the person we were with.


As for interests and activites: We are both videogame fanatics, him more than me, but I am an avid watcher and helper. I call him the brawn ( the more skilled) and me the brain ( solving puzzles in the games )
We are both DVD and movie fanatics.
We both love anime and comic books, and we are both collectors of statues, action figures that relate to our favorites.
( Our house is like a giant toy store )
He is somewhat shy in bed about his body ( we are both fat ) but I do not allow him to be shy. I have explored every single inch of him till I can trace his body in my mind.
We both love to read.
I love my cats, and my cats love him. The traitors have even started sleeping on top of him at night instead of me. :(
Other than some seafoods we both love the same foods.
I am Wiccan while he is somewhat non-religious.

Over all we both have found love in the most unlikely place. Online. We have been together for 3 years now. And no end in sight. We are making plans to marry soon.
:D

We were drawn together because of a lifestyle issue... from the very first contact there was a connection... So the need to explore a different lifestyle drew us together, but what keeps us together is a mutual respect and then there is the intellectual stimulation... For every hour in the bedroom, there are ten out of the bedroom talking.... and I believe that is what strengthen and sustains us... Like the song says...

It's the little things you say and do
That keep me satisfied...

Were any of these responsible for you connecting?

A mutual need was what was responsible for us connecting..

No relationship is without bumps... and we have both been responsible for the bumps in the relationship... it is how you get over them that counts and what happens afterwards....







The Beginning
 
When you're in love

You get comfortable. According to my daughter, we're so comfortable we're growing larger together. LOL Hey, Spring is around the corner. He sheds pounds faster, but I enjoy working out so I'm not going to panic just yet.

Fox, I don't see why you shouldn't work. In my view you are flip sides of the same coin. My sweetie is the analytical, methodical, grounded one and me well, who doesn't know what I'm like. :)

We met because of a mutual interest--poetry. He wondered who this opinionated, loud-mouthed black woman was. We had an innocous conversation about something I had written, and we began to discuss the more technical aspect of writing poetry. I sucked him up like a sponge because it is rare to connect with folks who are interested in the nuts and bolts of writing.

We both feel strongly about our children. We're both readers and cooks. He's the master in the kitchen. We both have a passion for jazz and classical.

He's exceptionally literate and intelligent, a major turn on for me. He's incredibly private and I'm the social butterfly. We compliment each other.

I hit the jackpot with him. Not given up the booty.(pun intended)

Peace,

daughter

My Love CH and I first met in person at a metaphysics retreat in North Carolina. We had already connected online through mutual spiritual and intellectual channels. I remember the moment I met him in person and looked into his eyes... "So, you are CrystalHunting" sparks... yes indeed!!
CH spent alot of time with my son, and introduced him to the "stones". He is wonderful with children. It wasn't long after that trip that CH and I began seeing eachother exclusively.
So, yes we have many mutual interests that make this relationship passionate, alive and "real"......
Sex (number1) Cats, love of children, metaphysics, History, Spirituality, Philosophy, Stones( I am learning) Writing, Poetry...
Can yall tell I am in love with this Guy?? :D
