Heartaches and Tears

Question: Why do I feel I'm doing more for the relationship than my partner is? After the holidays, you looked at the mounds of wrapping paper surrounding your mate, then you examined your own paltry ashtray full of tissue paper. "That's not fair!" you tell yourself, "I'm tired of being the only one to give in this relationship. When do I get?" This scenario doesn't just happen during the holidays. If you're sensing there's an imbalance between what you give and what you get in the relationship, it's probably a feeling that is with you all year long. It's easy for me to explain away this problem by simply saying, "This is because you are so much more loving and thoughtful than your partner, and your mate is more ignorant and uncaring than you." Maybe that is the case. But before you jump to conclusions, consider the possibility that your partner sees him or herself as giving plenty to the relationship. He or she may also...

(Adapted) In my line of work -- family law -- I often hear the same old refrain when a client explains to me why he/she splits from a significant other. It goes like this: "I guess I didn't really know my partner after all." You might ask: How could that be? How could you have an intimate relationship with someone only to wake up one day to find out that the person you fell in love with is not the person he/she turned out to be? I believe there are at least a dozen ways to know who someone really is -- indicators -- and if we do an inventory early on, we might stand a better chance of getting to know the real person before we fully commit. The following "observance" suggestions are important ones to make in the early stages of any relationship because each offers insight into habits, patterns, and behaviors. As you ponder these observations, know that there is no right or wrong; it's a matter of acceptance. Sometimes we have to accept quirks and differences...

MAN: Our Father Who Art In Heaven. GOD: YES? MAN: Don't interrupt me. I'm praying. GOD: BUT YOU CALLED ME. MAN: Called you? No, I didn't call you. I'm praying. Our Father who art in heaven. GOD: THERE! YOU DID IT AGAIN. MAN: Did what? GOD: CALLED ME. YOU SAID, "OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN." WELL, HERE I AM. WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND? MAN: But, I didn't mean anything by it. I was, you know, just saying my prayers for the day. I always say the Lord's Prayer. It makes me feel good, kind of like fulfilling a duty. GOD: WELL, ALL RIGHT. GO ON. MAN: Okay, Hallowed be Thy name... GOD: HOLD IT RIGHT THERE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? MAN: By what? GOD: BY "HALLOWED BE THY NAME"? MAN: It means, it means ... good grief, I don't know what it means. How in the world should I know? It's just a part of the prayer. By the way, what does it mean? GOD: IT MEANS "HONORED", "HOLY", "WONDERFUL". MAN: Hey, th...

I was browsing my multiply account (antipatikasijuvy.multiply.com) and had my wavemate view the pictures I have there. I was telling him how me and JR started to get along, first was when we went watching Disturbia in Trinoma, September 14, 2007, and went to Punchline after. I enjoyed every bit of my time with him, and all expense paid by him, of course! haha! Those were the days when my life sucks big time! hehehe! I also showed him more pics about us going to Enchanted Kingdom, Global Fun Carnival, Hangout in Dairy Queen Araneta etc. Spending time with JR is so much fun, and I can be totally myself, no pretensions, pure laugh trip. Then my wavemate told me, I thought you and Pnix will be together cause you are so close to each other, I told him, no. We were both in relationships, and I told him I was never free! haha! I said after being in a relationship with my Ex, the one in Ayala, I had another bf, another eTel employee. He was very shocked to know I had a relationship with the la...
