i guess it goes with­out say­ing that being involved in a rela­tion­ship is a very inter­est­ing and some­times fright­en­ing expe­ri­ence. but i need to say it. hell, i don’t have much expe­ri­ence along these lines. what y’all know is new to me. i think the two fun­da­men­tal aspects that should be basic to any rela­tion­ship (friend, mate, dog, what­ev­er) are hon­esty and respect. its some­times tough to be hon­est and give respect. lis­ten to me offer­ing my wisdom…ha! i know jack squat. per­haps my fun­da­men­tals are just the­o­ries. they sure sound good to me though
