Hey Cov! Hate to overstate the obvious but after, say, 38 years of research: relationships and, even more so, marriage require a hell of a lot of work!![]()
Yes. Proper dates; flowers; etc. If certain things - actions, words, gestures - help you win a woman's heart, it is unwise to stop those things after. It's not like, "I made it. Now I can stop the effort, but all the benefits that come from that effort will continue."CovenantJr wrote:We had a long talk. Things are...kind of fixed.

It wasn't quite like that, and if we're not apportioning blame, I think it's a little unjust for you to do so. We both just sort of drifted away from dating...we got too comfortable, I suppose. It's probably an oibvious thing, but only when looking from the outside.Fist and Faith wrote:Yes.
