    yes, I must announce, me and my girlfriend are now at the half year mark

    all of our friends (on both sides) talk about how we are the perfect couple, perfect match, and how we are perfect for each other
    now, I appreciate this in many ways not only does it give me a sense of accomplishment and encouragement, but it also feeds my confidence/arrogance
    but it also kinda sets a higher standard to me, I kinda feel like if things don't work out, it would be letting them down as well

    this isn't really a problem, nor do I want advice ('less you have something good ;) ), just wanted to voice this a bit, and maybe hear some comments on it

    That's awesome to me.
    My parents still have almost no clue that im in a 3 year relationship and they wouldnt approve anyway.
    So im happy it's working out for you.But dont feel like you have to make it work so you dont disappoint them.
    Make it work for you and her.
    Ur in the relationship...not u her and anyone else.
    Good luck.

    It doesn't matter what you're friends think.
    If things don't work out between the two of you, then you aren't as perfect for each other as they thought.
    I hope you're still smarter than to base a relationship on the disappointment of your peers.

    Congrats on the half-mark.

    no no, that's why I made a point to state that this is not a problem

    it's not like if we were having problems I'd be like "I have to do this for the boys", that'd be the last thing on my mind
    just a thought tis all

    and thank you :)

    Back of your mind:

    Chicks are all the same and there are always more.

    Any relationship goes through phases --

    ---the infatuation phase ("he (or she) is perfect in every way")

    ---the finding fault phase ("he is great except for...")

    ---the breakup or the resolution phase ("I can't stand another minute with him, the way he..." or "Even though he..., I can accept that. I love him."

    No one is perfect. Accept that.

    ahaha

    physically: (almost) all chicks are amazing
    but no people are the same, and I have trouble finding ones I like to be around, so I better stick with this one that I love being around


    your social theories are quite lacking
    I never go through 'the infatuation phase', absolutely always find faults (therefore, it is not a phase), and therefore 'the resolution phase' can not be a phase either.

    I agree completely.
