About That Relationship
While some people say that opposites attract, I think that the basic foundations of a relationship has to be the common ground. I once read a book on maintaining a healthy gay relationship, and one of the suggestions made was to discuss the boundaries of the relationship before getting into one. Sure, it might take away part of the spontaneity of the situation, but I think it is a very important discussion to have.
Perhaps it is due to the absence of rules in the gay relationship universe that leads to more potential issues. Else, you might get caught in a relationship, where one believes strongly in monogamy, while the other believes in open relationships. Who needs to compromise then, and for how long? I am not saying that either has the right, but would it not be easier if you discussed this before getting into a relationship?
So, perhaps what brings people together, might not be what keeps them together. However, it is the shared values, that are not easily perceived, but arouse the strongest emotions.
