If Erin hadn't been patient with you at the beginning about opening up to love then maybe you would never be at this stage. It took me time to come around to this whole topic, I wasn't open to it at all, at first, but now I open to learning about it.
Maybe it's just a simple thing of noticing that our partner could be open to listening to new ideas, maybe not straight away but eventually. Just remember not everyone is advanced or maybe set in their ways of thought/way of life/thinking as you.
It sounds like your assuming all your readers will just automatically have the same mindset, personality as you and will deal with things in the same manner. I think it would be a pretty boring world if this was the case! |
If you don't have open communication, you don't have much of a relationship.
Erin and I are always open to discussion about any topic. It may still take a long time to resolve certain issues, but we're open to discussing them with each other.
Without open communication there's no hope of resolving major issues. The end results is either a breakup or a breakdown.
Solutions may still take time, but in the presence of stonewalling, failure is guaranteed. That's about as cut and dried as it gets.
