It is the natural way to be in a loving relationship. I hope to find that kind of relationship again too.

So beautiful and precious. I agree.

In relationships, I've always given my significant other the love I've always wanted.

My significant other would have to hurt me without my permission first to make me stop loving him.

I would not purposely make my partner ever feel unloved or unwanted.

To me, witnessing my significant other feel loved and letting him KNOW he's loved makes me happy.

Even if he should not love me back, what matters to me is that I loved. Because in the moment of loving someone, I also loved myself.

It is a laudable sentiment but I have yet to see true examplars of it in real life.

It's a trap. Don't do it, in time they'll weaponize it against you.

That's very cool of her. Many people won't even bother to reply. They'll simply ignore or block you. Which I understand because after talking to a few ladies they said they get just too many messages and many are vulgar.

It is a nice sentiment, but unfortunately in the online dating and offline dating, for that matter, my experience with sharing about the past is that, at least in the early stages, it is used only by the other person to vet you on whether you are worthy of them or whether they should reject you. It is not used to understand how you need to be loved.

It's a nice idea but I think people who are interested in understanding how you need to be loved are often able to do so based on where you are at and are very patient about allowing you to divulge what you want when you're ready.

"Imagine meeting someone who wanted to learn your past not to punish you, but to understand how you needed to be loved." My philosophy. I feel sometimes the other person feels uncomfortable worrying that I'm digging up dirt. After a few minutes of sharing my weaknesses, I think they get the idea.

Yes, and this is the only way to feel loved and give it too.

There's no love in holding someone's past against them. Everyone is the sum of all their experiences; every beautiful and dirty thing about them. To reject someone's past is to reject who they've become as a result of it. Sometimes that's a wise choice and in that case you move on. If you chose to stay, it doesn't mean you can't set your own boundaries or disagree, but everyone has different needs based on the life they've lived.

This is why it is so detrimental to a relationship to compare a current partner to a past one, or to anyone else.

If only everyone felt like that and acted accordingly. That would be nice.
