well ive just come out of a long term relationship of ten years and two children (i won't bore you with anymore details) and thought i'd share with anyone who's interested what i learned along the way.

Firstly the key to any relationship is comunnication, with out it the relationship will never last

You need to reguarly make time for each other, at least once a week, even if you have children

and lastly and i'll probably cope a lot of flack over this, a women cannot have friends that are males and vice versa. Women think that guys are their friends and are just being friendly, when in actual fact guys are being friendy while waiting for an opportunity to sleep with the woman. Guys are scumbags and women are gullable. (well most)

i agree with communication but not having male friends or him not having female friends sounds possesive...i don't agree 2 it. coz someone who wants 2 cheat will do it regardless of whom he or she associates with. its all about trust, honesty and respect 4 da love u feel 4 each other
