The way I have always looked at romantic relationships is that we are trying to complete ourselves. We are trying to find the person that completes the puzzle of our soul and makes us truly one being. How do my fellow BLers feel on this idea of romantic relationships? I am not talking about the hit it and quit it kind either. I am talking about relationships of at least six months to where you begin at least to really get to know the person you are with. Also, anyone else actually take the time to look at past S/O's and attempt to see what part of themselves that they were trying to complete? How does what you were trying to complete compare with your current S/O?
I consider myself as having four serious relationships. The first one was the girl I lost my virginity too, she could not have been anymore opposite than me. Didn't do drugs, went to church, and about as dumb as a box of rocks for the most part X.x IMO, everyone dates somebody opposite of them at least once and in this relationship, an individual isn't really trying to complete themselves as much as they are trying to go as far away from themselves as possible.Was with this girl on and off for almost seven years X.x The second, I was with her for about seven months. To me, she represented the dark quiet beauty that I see in myself, but it did not last because she could not handle me picking her brain trying to get to know her. She couldn't overcome her own darkness to see the beauty in it. The third girl, well, I was trying to complete the fiend in myself but after about 8 months of a relationship based solely on drugs, I realized that I did not want to complete the inner fiend in my soul (not to mention my pockets were hurting by that time, lol). The fourth, and my current S/O is an interesting one. She is different yet the same as me...The same yet different...but still herself as well. She is like a combination of the other three rolled into one but also her own separate piece of my soul. I honestly feel more complete with her than I have the others, not to mention I feel that the completeness I get with her is going to do one of two things, we are either going to feed the dark side of the other, emotionally rip each other to shreds, and leave ourselves jaded completely to any future chance of a healthy relationship or we are going to feed the positives of one another, help each other discover pieces of ourselves, and use our discovery to have a long,healthy,understanding relationship. I have been with her for almost three years now.
