something that for many seems elusive ? Are you one of those people who always seem to feel you have somehow landed or fallen for the wrong person , leaving you on the hurting end of love ? There are some guidelines that do more than make sense .
If you don ' t want a partner who drinks or parties , don ' t go to a bar , nightclub or racy party to meet one . Confine your serious search to workplaces , local gatherings , restaurants and other random opportunities .
If cheaters don ' t appeal to you , refuse to be involved with anyone who is cheating on someone else to be with you . If you attempt to fool yourself into believing they love you too much to do that , understand that is what their current partner thought . Cheaters cheat .
Hate deceitful people ? Don ' t gloss over untruthful statements your partner is inclined to make . They are not small white lies or offered for entertainment . They are lies . Liars lie . If you find yourself telling your friends your partner always tells you something that turns out to be less than truthful , you ' re dating a liar .
Feel like you are being treated like you are second class ? Accepting behavior that is less than caring and respectful is construed as your agreement to be treated as less than the King or Queen you deserve to be in your relationship . Never accept the idea that you are lucky to have your partner and therefore will tolerate less than you deserve . No one belongs on a pedestal that high . Find someone who meets you on equal ground and loves who you are .
Don ' t settle for any long-term relationship with a person who is not capable and intent on seeing the very best in you and helping you see the same . Find someone you feel the same way about . Couples who uplift each other contribute to one another ' s happiness and create lasting relationships .
One last thing ; if you pay attention to people they will tell you who they are . People often voice their own weaknesses by stating how much they hate that attribute in others . They hate the reflection of their own weakness projected back at them .
People who are mistrustful may be less than trustworthy . We all judge our expectations of others by what we would do in a similar situation . Want to know if they will lie , steal or cheat ? Listen to their assessment of the behavior they expect from someone else in a situation that would promote those things !
My father came from a simple beginning ; living in THE Bronx ( He always like saying THE Bronx , since it is the only county that started with THE ). He lived in a small apartment which many of us today would call a studio . There he lived with his parents and brother . When you walked into the apartment the living room , den , dining room , and kitchen , was all the same room . The shower was a basin with a plastic curtain ; he shared his bedroom with his brother . I ' m sure both could not dress at the same time , since it was so small . My grandparent ' s bedroom was not much larger - Despite the small size , the apartment was immaculate . The one thing I truly enjoyed is when my Grandmother cooked , she made the best meatballs , veal cutlets , and gravy ( tomato sauce )... and to give credit to my grandfather , his wine was pretty good as well .
My father loved the simple things , and always enjoyed what he had . He never envied others , and what I learned from this was if you stop wanting so much , you start appreciating more of what you have .
