What defines a good relationship? I really don't understand how anyone can actually define one either, which is one of the reasons I usually look stupid responding to posts such as this one.
If I was to go through my life and pit men relationships vs women I'd have to say that they were equal. Of course for the men it's been friendship but when you guy friends know much of your innermost thoughts isn't that too a form of intimacy? The thing that complicates matters is sex, which is why all documentation regarding relationships is always focused on the opposite sex.
I have a problem with that though. I've been backstabbed or betrayed to one level or another just as much by guy friends as lady partners, prolly more by guys if I were to take a count. The fact that I'm heterosexual means that when I refer to relationship success/failure I can only talk about women right? It really makes no sense to me especially when you look at divorce stats, relationship stats, etc.
- My oldest and dearest friend is a woman.
- I'm closer to my mother than my father.
- The best person in my life is my daughter.
- I communicate more effectively with my brotherââ¬â¢s girlfriends than I do with him.
I think I'm confusing the issue as usual so I apologize. This isn't meant to be a hi-jack either just some questions that seem to sit somewhere in the back of my mind.
