Breathing Space

fabiaN__ SG

How important is it in a relationship? If too much "freedom" is given to each other, in the long run, will the feelings fade? Or will the "trust" within the giving of "freedom" make the r/s stronger instead?

In a relationship, there is no such thing as "Freedom".
You are accountable to your other half.
Your decision will affect each other.

You are a separate entity, but bonded by the commitment for each other.

The "freedom" is not one you grant yourself.

There's no fixed rules... It's a 'balance'... And often decided by the 2 parties involved... And very often people just take it for granted that things should be 'understood'.... Hence many who could be having problems with it often don't talk about it.... And that's how the problem can develop into a serious one in time.....?

There's time to be together, there's time to be separated.

Simple as that.

wat ive learnt in my previous r/s;

too much freedom, he/she will betray u.
too much care, he/she will feel irritating.
too much love, he/she will love u too. but,
do remember, u giving he/she too much freedom,care and he/she dont give a fcuk when he/she met someone else..

so, conclusion;
dont put 100% love, u dont knw wat will happen next.

and pls la, if u think both of u vowed, i love only u... i need only u.. blar blar.. is nice to hear but hard to see... so take care Laughing

Sakuraflower SG

there is a balance to r/s...

It is how both of the parties handle each other feelings and needs...

WiNtEr'SkiLL SG

soulwinner SG

I felt that the hardest is to accept our partner as who they are..

browniebaobao SG

i think it's impt to give each other some breathing space.. and allow each other some time and freedom to do things or spend time together with family and frens..

if always stick together and neglect others.. if one day break up le, they will realize they have neglected so many ple and not done so much.

Cool-gal SG

from my experiences, do not give each other too much space. it wont do good.
u never know wads going to happen in ur/her life next.
its good to shower love n care but not overly, too much of something is bad.
though trust is impt but do not trust blindly.

walesa SG

It depends on your maturity, doesn't it?

How much freedom matters to you now may not be the same as how much it would mean to you a decade from now... Wink
