i just heard today that a friend of mine is engaged to be married. this, by itself, is not uncommon. what is a little surprising is that they’ve only been dating for 10 weeks.
wow.
when i first heard the news i was shocked because it just seemed so sudden. but wow. i’m happy for the guy. he has been on cloud nine since he started dating her and they seem like they are really in love.
and that’s all it really takes. fate to step in and you can suddenly be whisked away into a whirlwind of happiness that can’t be described as anything short of perfection. circumstances can change and where once one was filled with sadness one can now be elated beyond any recollection.
that’s the thing about love. its power overwhelms you. it inspires you to do things that you did not believe you were capable of.
i still believe in love, after all these years and after hearing that my friend has found it, i couldn’t be happier for him. it just reaffirms my belief in the institution of love.
I guess when you know, you know. 10 weeks… that is really short!
whatever!
I’m sorry…I don’t mean to rain on people’s parade but lets be realistic here. 10 weeks is not enough time to get to know someone…even if you’re living with them and seeing them 24/7. that’s not even enough time before a couple experiences real “relationship disagreements�.
10 weeks is how long they’ve been dating. they’ve known each other for over 5 years as friends. as for experiencing real relationship disagreements, do you really have to experience a huge fight to know how you would handle it?
Actully you do, in my opinion. The way two people fight is the best way to gauge the longevity of a relationship. It’s not how they argue, but how they resolve the problem. I agree with Leeya and in a twisted way, I always anticipate my first fight with my boyfriend to evaluate my relationship.
