Relationships build on the accumulation of small, loving, caring things we do each day. Then there is an aggregate of those behaviors and they build a reserve so that when you think of your loved one you think positive, loving thoughts.

If you truly feel that you have come to dislike a person- that they are not for you, are not similar enough in values, or are a source of disdain and negative self thoughts - then end it.

However, if you can still feel those wonderful positive feelings and think good thoughts about the other after a good weekend or an afternoon at the park - you are likely very resilient and have the capacity to create an even stronger partnership.

Its far easier to destroy a relationship than it is to build one.

Love is a very selfish and narcissistic experience.

We are drawn to people that value us. We need to learn to sustain those periods of time when we are the sources of our partner's unhappiness. It is never really that we are the source - it is that our partners want us to feel differently about them. This goes on in all relationships. The defenses then build and we avoid the soul searching confrontation with a loved one. Searching the soul will cement your friendship and love more than anything in a relationship.
