>>39531721I'm not trying to say that rushing into things is the way to go about it. It usually causes even more pain than you would have dealt with otherwise. It took me a long time and a lot of hurt to find someone who I truly belong with.
>It's ok to have a temporary partnerGoing into a relationship thinking of it as temporary is a self-fulfilling prophecy. "Why would I move in if we're just going to split up" "I don't want to get closer because it will hurt more when it ends". I had these exact thoughts and risked losing the joy I have now because of it.
>it's ok to have sex with someone before deciding to fully commitI agree. If you wait until you're "sure" then you'll be waiting forever because sex is important in a relationship, so you won't be sure without it. What i had to say about sex is just talking about casual sex. I don't need to know that i want to marry someone to know that I love them.
