Thoughts on 07/04/19 & 20 - About love and trust

I've got so much written down that I can't do everything chronologically.  And some of it can't be written about quite yet.

I'll start with this:

"Love is about trusting that they will always be there to support you, that they will never force you to make a choice that you don't need to make and that you will always find a better solution together."

Here's an interesting one.  I think throughout life there will be a lot of times when you have conflicting decisions.  Let's start with something simple like "Should I go to so-and-so's b-day party or stay at home and spend time with him/her?"  I fundamentally believe that in a good relationship, your other half will always encourage you to do what's best.  That may not necessarily mean that you get what you want, but what's best for you.  And what makes you happy should make him/her happy too.  So therefore, you should never really need to compromise since you'll always arrive at the best choice for both of you!  Of course sometimes it's going to some discussion, but you should never feel like you had to unwillingly give something up.  That's just plain unsustainable.

As an adjunct to that, I'll add this:

"When the right person comes along, you won't ever have to be selfish again.  You can be completely generous and get everything you want in return."

It's about trusting that the other person always has your best intention in mind because they love you.
