The thing the I really like about my marriage and part of the reason I think we both feel so secure in it, is knowing that it was never an expectation, nor a goal. Neither of us had any interest in marriage even as a concept

- Aw...that's really nice (and I'm not being sarcastic).dsb

to the gentleman who said "you need half of the time you've been in a relationship to recover *completely* from it" -- in my research i've found that it takes three times the time you've been in a relationship. i've spent the first year alone just trying not to be so fucking emo.

I watched that TED video and I just learned that we're born to be breeders and that if I'm at a stoplight it's OK to want to bang the chick driving the Lexus right next to me even though I'm married.

There is a golden rule a friend told me and depending on a day claimed it originated from his grandfather or Oscar Wilde:
Don't sleep with women who have more problems than you.

"...but I am interested in hearing people's takes on their own relationships - what has worked and what hasn't, and why."
Well I split up from my girlfriend of four-and-a-half years over Xmas. We were best friends and perfectly suited to each other. We lived together for just over 2 years and could have settled down together and had kids. There was 1 problem. We lived in the Guildford (South East) but were from Plymouth (the South west) where our families are from and she was very homesick. She moved back and wanted me to move back with her, but as much as I love the SW, there are is no career for a designer there and I couldn't see how I could be fully happy being there after having worked in London etc. So we decided to end it. We got back together 4 months after on a long distance thing but we decided we ultimately wanted different things and finished it for good over Xmas. As I write this I can see I have probably given up the most important thing in the world for pretty much nothing. I don't regret it as I am sure that one day I'll look back on that decision and feel it was the right one.
Anyway, the point of the above is that... well I don't know. Everything happens for a reason. Maybe I am destined to marry Liv Tyler after all. Come 'ere cutie!

I have never been in a relationship type thing, so I will not comment further.
But good luck. From what I can tell you're an awesome guy.

when you're with the right person, it's like great design, you don't even know it's there... it's effortless, fluid...
that said, I'm sure it's just a matter of time before I fuck mine up...

I've been burned before, I think we all have, when it comes to relationships. For me, the biggest thing is to be honest about everything. You don't want to hurt the other peoples feelings, but shit, if your honest, but not mean about it. It normally works out better. I tell girls up front, listen, I'm not looking for anything serious (if that even comes up) if they want to hang out, have some fun, then cool, if not, well one of us might get hurt.
IMO, the key is to be comfortable with yourself, all aspects of it.
