Love is hard work.

This truly is THEE most important lesson. Love is null without trust.

Don’t take shit and know your worth

Great sex, and money help.

to admit your mistakes, to undress yourself and show your weaknesses, it’s not a competition.

To apologize even when you’re not ready to admit fault.

The power of saying no. In fact I’d didn’t find the courage to say no until my late 20s. Saying no to women being the hardest thing to do.

Hard work and communication!

Don’t take the abuse & leave

That it really takes a lifetime to TRULY know someone. Everyone has skeletons in their closet. Most of the time it’s always communication though! Being on the same page is key!

All therapist agree. If she can't make good spaghetti & or he can't grill a good burger. It's just not going to work out.

I've learned to lower my expectations. Like to zero.

That if you really love someone you must also love that person when that someone leaves you. If you can't do that your love was ephemeral and not love at all.

Fundamentally, people don’t change. Respect your no-fly list (it’s at least as important as your wish list, if not more so).

Love itself is not important. Trust your guts and be honest with yourself.

Relationships are not hard when you share values. Started asking all the hard questions up front. Now happily married for five years.

Stop chasing it.

Everything moves forward. Life is full of beautiful things waiting.

People who think it is "hard work" just don't have experience, or they keep picking the same (wrong) people to date. There are people out there with whom life is just easy. You just stay with someone because parts of the relationship are good.

first love yourself, to be able to give love to another person!

I’d have to say to not ignore those little red flags 🚩 that pop up in the early initial stages because you’re enamored. They usually become the reason you’re fleeing to the hills. Pay attention to the little red flags.

That’s the bottom line, no doubt

Only unlimited Love matters. No rules, no tricks, just love from your whole heart. I even failed this simple thing with my next relationship...

Never give away trust, always prepare for the next one, and keep stacking sats. https://i.imgur.com/VOnLcRb.jpg
