L, I perfectly understand your reaction. Although there might be some amount of reality in what j said but that is not being yourself- that is supressing your real feelings- nd believe me a realtionship cannot go a long way if feelings are not communicated- one has to be abolutely honest with the other- and thats the only way a bond becomes stronger and deeper- I sure believe so!
here's to a great life ahead- and no matter what anyone says, remmeber the biggest problem is most relationships begind when people stop sharing what they feel. Don't stop doing that ever though you can choose your words and timing of discussion depending on the context.
God bless you!
