I am generally a happy person to know. I have discovered new things about myself over the last 4 years particularly about strong emotions like anger and jealousy.
I like walking, dancing, visiting art galleries, good conversation, travelling, watching movies - especially off-beat ones.

I was in Italy recently with my girlfriend. On the last evening when we argued. We got to the point where I wanted to leave the hotel room and she tried to prevent me. She was rather drunk (we had both drunk quite a lot that evening) and started lashing out at me I got a cut lip and a big black eye. That was February 2008. At the time I vowed i would never let anyone who could do that to me be my girlfriend again. Now we are back together. It has happpened before. Am I deluding myself?
I have been with my girlfriend for three and a half years. We met as my marriage was going through a difficult time ending in a legal separation about two years ago, though not divorce. My relationship with my gf has been passionate and volatile with some extreme episodes between us. We have had several mini breakups lasting a few days and one lasting two weeks. Can this pattern ever change?
Interested to hear what others say on this subject.
Would like to learn more about maintaining healthy relationships. This has got to be a good thing? Am I in a healthy relationship with my girlfriend? How can I find out?
June 2008 will be one year since my gf cheated on me while I was abroad on business for a few days. We are still together though I can't seem to get this incident out of my head. My girlfriend admits she has tendencies to infidelity but says that I have knocked it out of her now. Sometimes I think I've dealt with it but then it comes back in a fresh wave. Lately I have been thinking about it every day.
Sometimes I am the calmest person around. I'm not easily phased. Over the last few years I have discovered a firey temper that can escalate very quickly and has at times been difficult to control. I am much more in control of my anger now than I was.
I think I easily become codependant. Learning to be more independent. Noticing how others can create conditions of codependency.
