Relationships

我的女朋友是中国人。

Should you want or need your partner? I've had this question come up a few times in my current relationship. It's a question that can mask deeper issues and one that should definitely be asked in any relationship.

I want my girlfriend. I desire her company (usually ), I want her companionship, her friendship, and her love. I don't need my girlfriend. I could go on living if she was gone. I am self-supportive, I have my own thoughts and ideas, and I don't need someone to actualize my existence. In my mind, the wanting of someone is on a much levell higher than needing someone.

I need air to breathe, I need food to live on, I may need love (see Maslow's Hierarchy), but that doesn't say I need a partner.

Tonight is my company's annual holiday party. I am treating my girlfriend to a wonderful weekend. We stayed last night and we will stay tonight in a five-star diamond hotel. We are taking a sedan type limousine to the party. It has been and will be a very nice weekend.

I don't take my girlfriend out too much. I generally don't like to go out. So this weekend I make very special. As long as I don't pay attention to the price tag, it is a great time

I added this category for "relationships" today but I'm not sure how much I'll use it. I live with my girlfriend and her 11 year old son. I love my girlfriend very much but relationships are very trying. Since I've begun to make this blog of mine a diary, I figured my relationship has its place here - after all, it is a big part of my life!

I'm not sure what kind of content this category will be filled with. It will be interesting to see what I choose to write here.
