Of course!

Yes...each relationship is a cherished mutual education.

Of course... Always.

In my last long term relationship of 10 years-which I ended 9 years ago, I accepted unconventional, rude, disrespectful and illegal behavior on the belief someone loved me. Totally non-acceptable to me now.

Yes.

I have twice heard applause for the flight crew after a bumpy flight. ..love means you never have to say you're sorry ??

It's caused blindness to iq deficits. :\ That always ends tragically.

That whole "honeymoon" stage...the little things you let by that, once the newness and hormones slack off, suddenly come into sharper focus and maybe aren't so little anymore...

That would be a good question for my former relationships.

I was stationed in Turkey and heard a lot of Turkish music. Of course it was foreign and I didn't care for it.

My late partner was from Iran and loved Iranian music (I referred to it as "Turkish" which pushed her buttons). However, I grew to like it. I still have some of her CD's in the car and sometimes listen to them. It's the usual familiarity can breed acceptance.

Smoking indoors?

Why do you ask? lol

I cannot stand poor grammar. My ex used your instead of you're, mixed up there, their, and they're, but, since I loved her, I let it grate on me in silence

When I first started dating my soon to be ex I RILLLLYY didn't like her belief and acceptance of 12-step programs and all the related behaviors: daily inventory, journalling, etc. Now I'm a big proponent of them. In fact I wish she would get back into Al-Anon again so she would become less stuck. Not responsible for her tho...

I think there's a tendency to find everything "cute" early in a relationship, because we're basically drugging ourselves with hormones that make us feel good no matter what's happening, but as with any drug the effects eventually wear off and we start finding those little things to be annoying.

My wife says... damn! We made it home! Whew!.. I'm a lousy driver on long trips...lol.
My wife is learning to use on me some of the things I tell her...lol. Your hair looks ok Bob. Stop asking me! Stop asking me if you look good Bob...ok? Lol!

"Appreciate" is an awfully strong word. The most I will admit to is "tolerate".

I once was willing to listen to hair bands just so I'd have something to talk about with a love interest.

sometimes you ask hard questions
