[lie lie lie]

I was with someone for 7 years and I realized that the two things you need most to make a relationship work successfully long term is - communication - and - compromise. And that sounds so cliche'd but it's so true and people don't realize how they DON'T do it xD especially communication.

I kept my mouth shut about things that bothered me again and again until those things got so overwhelming they literally destroyed my relationship (or were one of the factors)...I literally went from loving the person I was with to tolerating them to at times almost actively hating them. Just because I was comfortable and didn't want to be alone..

...sorry I kinda...went off on a tangent there. xDDD;; I meant to say yes, good for you guys! And congratulations on six years together :D
