Watch your words. Remember, you cannot un-ring a bell. Once out there, words can be loving or deadly. This does not mean boring her with your sordid past. . . We try so hard, early in the relationship to always be at our best, then when we are several months into the relationship, we feel as though we have reached our goal, we slack off and that's when things can begin to slowly fall apart.
Relationships are a bit of a puzzle for most men anyway.
When a man and a woman finally get together, the glaring differences show up. Only and always do your best. All the time. Not only when in pursuit. Not only when it's broken and needs to be fixed.
