Just becuase they had been together so long already. because they havea kid together for example or cause the person reminds them of their childhood and it's safe, no being alone, no fear of rejection. Mistaking understanding with having just known someone so damn long
I'm unsure if Pisces is the part of me that makes me do this, but I tend to stick something out until the bitter end. Refusing or neglecting to see how things really are. Thinking I can fix it or make it better. I will not be done with a relationship until I feel like I've given 200% and know there was absolutely nothing else I could do to make it work. Then I'm content to move along, knowing I'll never have the what-if thoughts about myself (what-ifs about the other person maybe, but certainly not about the effort I put forth).
Count me in. I will stay within a union until there is nothing left. It could be the side of me that tends to be a bit masochistic, but it works because once I'm gone, I'm gone forever. No regrets, no "what ifs" no breaking up and making up-that shit is for the birds.
Same here...I do it until I know Ive tried it all, then I give up and walk away. I will only do that if Ive been in the relationship for a decent amount of time. I won't put in that kind of effort for some one I didn't care about as much. If Im just dating and non-commited, Im probably less tolerant and more keen to red flags.
You are totally right....after my last relationship, I finally figured that out. Which is why Im taking steps to change the things in my life that have effected me on the inside. I guess I just have to take a bit of a more deserving attitude. :S Ive been a pretty selfless person most of my life and its never benefited me. I guess as they say, its ok to be a little bit selfish at times.
That's true, I guess we all have to go through our own little journeys to understand ourselves and what we want out of life. I hope to be really happy some day with some one that really appreciates me just the way I am. Im happy to at least grow from my experiences because I learn a lot about myself. Thanks Starfish!
Haha so true... in all honesty, I've just recently recovered from the 5 years I spent (4 years too long) with some guy. And now I'm ever so single because the tolerance level has taken a HUGE decline. Fully agree with GemSis and LP.
I was young when I had those thoughts of play it out til the end. Do all you can do. And went through the wtf stage for quite some time.
What a useless post by me! All just to say "I concur!"
I don't know if I can relate to what has been said in here ..
Gem ... how can a person outside of a union make decision that a Pisces stayed in a relationship long after it should have been over
Life changes constantly .. to include people, so if a person is ever changing then how can a person make the decision that a relationship is finished, if there is no end? The only end is by death.
Starfish ... being deserving automatically is bullshit .. people get what they deserve, it's not a right to have just because you are alive .. just like respect. To be treated like a queen is NOT deserving of a woman, simply because she loves herself. Utter bullshit.
A woman only (((( deserves )))) to be treated like a queen if ... IF ... she treats her man like a King. Treatment is two-sided, not double-standard.
:::: shakes head ::::
"its amazing how taking care of yourself first can do such a huge difference in future relationships. especially in my last situation.. i wasn't allowing myself to realize my potential and what i was worth and i let someone run all over me. and after i took steps back to re-evaluate things, i went back only to find out that i deserved more. but that applies to all of us, not just pisces!"
The wisest response to this thread ^^^^^^^^ .... it's about taking care and realization of self ... not, thinking you just deserve more than you give simply because you exist.
I reciprocate how I am treated, this doesnt mean Im a blind fool to some cookie monster who is horrible to 99% of the people she is around and nice to me. I think maybe if people took more time to get to know this special guy/girl you're seeing, many problems would be avoided. They say that most people dont truly act like themselver until 4 or so months has gone by, take that as you will.
^^^ That is pretty much what I got out of starfish's statements.
I always treat people very well, probably better than some of them deserved to be treated honestly. I just dont always get the same treatment back. I agree that there has to be a balance in there some how and it not all be one sided.
