Very nicely put Blue Phoenix. I really loved your reply. Two thumbs up
IMO, relationships do exact some changes but ultimately I believe one only embraces those changes if they wish to. Of course some of them you don't really notice until later on, but in the end I believe it's up to each one to really get into it. I had previous relationships that didn't affect me in any way but the one I'm in right now certainly did the change and only for the better
I also agree with what Lacey said, about one noticing himself better when someone else notices you. Wise words Lacey
