Gay Relationships 301

So i had a talk with a friend today and did some reflection and came up with the following. Perhaps not the most qualified to comment on relationships myself but tell me i don't have a point!

A relationship needs to evolve, it needs to change. Fortunately or otherwise, being Aj means a higher tendency to get bored with the monotonous. Unlike str8 relationships where there is an end eventually, you get married and have kids. There isn't such end for aj relationships. There is no marriage to speak of, no kids to rise. Thus there is no direction that both people can work towards compared to a str8 couple.

So then the essence of finding your way through a relationship, through the happy years of sweet honeymoon with the occasional flights, though the years that follow of dullsville, lies in communication.

Now communication is a tricky thing. Talking doesn't equate to communication. Listening doesn't equate to communication either. Getting the other party to understand what you really want and getting a consensus is communication.

For instance, both of you could talk about apples, but if 1 has the idea of a red apple, while the other is thinking of a green one. Then there has been no proper communication. In which you end up square one.

And if a couple cannot communicate such that both know what exactly the other is talking about without the presumption, then please wonder and ask and answer, what relationship is there?
