Relationships, The New 12 Step Program!

OMG … is like the perfect combination of acronyms to describe what I and countless others experience on an ongoing basis, when we think about our companions.

Relationships are not easy, sure some are smoother than others, but to think that your will power or desire to sustain in this relationship will not be tested or even stretch to the limits while engaging with each other is beyond comprehension to me! I have yet to see someone meet a another human being and bond with them without going thru what I refer to as the “12 step program”, yes I said it, I believe a relationship with a person you may be interested in pursuing long term has a 12 step program that people at times tend not to acknowledge!

And over the next several days I will be sharing my 12 step program with you 1 thru 12, so stay tune, but here is step 1

Step – 1, while in the honeymoon stage of the relationship, just be forthright, honesty pays when trying to establish trust, and the longer you keep those rocks unturned the deeper the rock sinks into the ground!

Being reluctant to disclose information with a significant other is understandable, but if you want to establish a more secure bond, tell that person a secret, pet peeve, fetish, whatever, the more that is disclosed, deeper that root grows.

At some point in your life the truth is going to come out, so disclose it, let it go, and if he cannot deal with the fact you have children from a prior relationship, well then see him to the door, no one should have to feel less of because they have been expose to life, and no one should feel inadequate or grateful that this person is in their lives, deal with the hard stuff early, believe me your relationship will be better because of it!
