My lover is my best friend. Someone I do a wide range of things with. From sampling crazy new dishes with, to traveling to distant lands. She is my pyschologist and problem solver and I do the same for her. We are devoted to each other like that, and are solid for each other in an unspoken way. We host potlucks and make many solid unique friends TOGETHER or watch movie marathons alone and cuddled closely. Cook together over a glass of wine or go out to see a show and maybe have a few pbrs in the process. She instantally is adopted by my large family the second she steps foot in my mothers house and likewise for me (aka she has open minded, accepting parents too). We feed off of each other and inspire each other and OUR goals. But we are also individuals and encourage each other to get time apart..from a few days to a few weeks. We help each other with projects (artistic and otherwise) and work together on them, offering ideas and helping hands. We are so grounded and yet, at the same time, al contradictions aside, totally spontaneous together..

We have that mind, body and soul connection that others sense when WE walk into the room.

We open each others minds to so many new things.

We bend, we break, we travel over bumps, have our fair share of struggles and come out on top like f*cking warriors, stronger in the end for having trudged through the sh*t together. Because we rock like that. Passion runs deep both in the best and worst of times (intense sex and insane arguements. It works both ways, sorry NO fairy tale nonsense here, this is real life) but in the end. we are.

Best friends
devoted lovers
part of each others families
Intense lovers
life altering emotional occurances between us shake us to the very core..
each others pyschologist, mentor, advisor, collaborator ... dreaming together, fight together, overcome together, a great super fantastic team together, so not perfect in a way that is pefect for us just the same grow and struggle together. We take great pleasure in satisfying each other every whim, we are both givers like that with massages, sensual touches and caresses aplenty! We talk about anything, communicate well, unravel the deepest secrets we both have, share, give and take balanced together.
...We are

That is what a relationship is to me.

Carl that is beautiful.

Your souls are connected and will always be regardless of this illusion we call reality.

I dont have anything much different to say except certain connections are what you are missing and they help in making you a little bit closer to whole.

I am single as of now. But, I also must say. I don't want to "need" someone to complete me, persay either. I want both of us to be complete on our own, happy with ourselves as much as possible and just make each other even happier once together.

Merry x-mas everyone!

Let's see.. my lover is verbal, says what they mean and mean what they said types. Talkative, easy going, patient. Funny (please, god, make him be funny.) has good timing. Poised. Devoted and loyal of course.

And what flaws can I put up with? Dirty laundry on the floor. Needing your freedom (is that a flaw? I suppose only when it conflicts with my own need at the time...) Not being a planner. Having to talk everything out. Showering every day (it's one of the top 5 I'll accept.) Lying to spare my feelings, but any other time I won't tolerate it.

I want the type of relationship two people fall into without expectations at first and then gradually figuring out together what's reasonable to expect out of the relationship and what isn't. One where we're both exploring the other's facets and quirks, getting to know someone's life and supporting them through it. Laughing together at silly things and being strong through the rough patches. Being best friends even after the romance and sex ends and we move onto other people.

Well written, Carl. Best wishes to you.

I won't go further because I tend to tick people off, and I shall not do that. No matter what I say, it all comes off the wrong way and rubs people the wrong way.

My sincere regards.

I definitely idealize romantic relationships as all sunshine and glitter, but the short time I've actually been in one I always manage freak out and flee screaming for the hills.

Cancer Sun, Mars & Mercury in 7th
Virgo Moon in 9th square Sag Uranus/ASC
Taurus Venus in 5th quincunx Sag Uranus
Venus opposite Saturn

I drive myself nuts.

I really have no words to describe what it means to be in a relationship. It's something I feel in my heart, not think about.

You don't rub me the wrong way.

That wasn't meant to sound dirty.

A relationship to me is you are now one...so...if you are in a fight with each other...or me, or whoever...

Then we have an issue because we have grown so close to each other that like clockwork we must merge at a certain hour of the day, week, or whatever the given way is...

if so it be this way,and the one or the other, I have been in both positions, closes off to as reject the ritual, then so be it that the relationship is poisoned until the other makes it up...how?

Hopefully he or she is gifted in the art of war(sexual war)

Sun cancer, moon leo, rising libra
venus quincunx saturn and neptune
venus conjunct mars
venus square Pluto
venus and mars in leo

Probably the most important thing to me in a relationship is that it is obvious to others how much we love and care for eavh other and the intense chemistry we have. With moon, venus, and mars in leo it's very important to me that others can FEEL how sweet we are to each other and can see the chemistry.
My ideal relationship is very close but very distant at the same time. He is shy and sweet towards me and laughs at all my jokes. We tease each other mercilessly and embarrass each other just to poke fun. We're physically playful. He's different around just me and with other people, he's a lot more nurturing and caring when it's just us two. He's a sentimental romantic, but only shows it to me. I make him emotional, i make him worried/scared about losting me, i affect him deeply, and he does the same all to me as well. We're also kind of distant in that we can hang out separately with our own friends, and we can even go on vacations without each other. Too much time with one person is suffocating to me, and if we spend too much time too quickly in the beginning of a relationship, i want to run for the hills because it feels unnatural.

I definitely would hate for us to not hav any friends outside of the relationship. It's very important to me that he doesnt just drop everything in his life for me. I want both of us to be independent. Also, we would probably have times of extreme coolness interlaced with periods of extreme passion to make up for the coolness/shyness/lack of affection. I can be a bery withdrawn person, and often need to be in my own little world doing my own thing most of the time, so i can be pretty distant and unaffectionate. Hopefully that would not bother him. I like to keep the mystery alive by "distancing" myself from time to time.

Sex is also very important to me. If we dont do it a least twice a week then i'd feel like something is missing. I'm extremely clingy when it comes to sex. That is how i express my extreme affection for the person i love. As a cancer i have very strong feelings and so sex allows me to express those and release them, also venus mars and moon in leo means i can show off and be playful and feel real passion with sex.
