The big problem with relationships is the two people often don't talk about what things they are actually willing and not willing to do or might resent doing in the relationship or one person will keep it completely secret to what they are not willing to do. For example, I didn't tell you, but I don't really want to have kids or get married. Or if I bring income in to the household, I expect you to do all the household chores

And also, let's get in the habit of not shaming someone when they are being honest with us. For example, we start dating someone and they actually say and be honest about what they need and what they want in the relationship

Why didn't you do XYZ? But it's like, well, I was a different person, so I don't know what you want. So it's hard. I think that that's the truest, hardest part about relationship, is that you are not a stagnant point. You are a moving point on a continuum, and your relationship also has to try to match that moving continuum with you at the same speed, at the same direction. You can give it your best go

One question is, when is lying? Okay. And that was my favorite one. And I walked around with that for a long time. And you can utilize that for romantic relationships, but also for any relationship. Any relationship. Thank you for this one. Bye

For instance, I could tell you I dated a guy, we talked about future, we talked about all kind of things we wanted, what we didn't like, what we like, what we're going to do, all this stuff, financial things, what we're going to pursue, what we're going to purchase, how our life is going to look, how we're going to uplift each other and all this stuff. We even talked about the things that we weren't so sure of

And I also agree that, yeah, being honest is not celebrated in society at this point in time. Hopefully that changes. And it is difficult to be honest. And I also do understand that there are many people out there who are not looking for a serious relationship and they're just looking for the right now
