On Relationships ~~~ Take the happy with the happy, and the bad with the bad; but be honest with yourself with where that relationship is.  Accept your role in both the good and the bad.  I'm trying to do that with my current relationship.  Sadly, we both realize that we make great friends and good lovers, but really really bad partners.  Lesson learned?  Don't jump into a relationship just because it seems like it's what you want or need at the present.  It's better to walk in life alone, knowing your "someone" is waiting further down the road, than to pick up a passenger along the way who you have nothing in common with.

Collarme is no different. I read posts all the time about people who are upset at others who make contact only to "disappear" when things start to firm up.  Instead of taking the time, and the risk, of getting to know someone before making emotional attachments, we will latch onto a Dominant or submissive thinking that they are the "end-all be-all" only to feel disheartened later when the constraints of reality slap the sh*t out of the dreams of fantasy.
