I have been let down a numerous amount of times in relationships. Am I to blame? I know going into things I should have an open mind and heart because after all I have no business being in a relationship if I don't. I go into a relationship knowing what I'm looking for AND knowing that even after I get involved, there are so many things that can occur. One has to be willing to except the change and if not get out and find something new. After all, we can't actually change the person ourselves; they are going to have to change on their own. And if we really do love and care about them, why are we trying to change them? Come one people.
I'm not married, but I do live with a guy. In the past few weeks my world has done a complete 180. I went from living the college life in off-campus dorms with girl roommates, to living in a house with girl roommates, to living on my own for two years, and now this...
I came to the realization that things aren't really different from his side of it either. He has lived alone for a couple years now too. We both are very independent, but living alone has only increased that. Going into this living situation, we didn't know what to expect but we did know there are going to be things we both don't like that the other one does. In other words, we are just going to have to deal with it, communicate, and adjust.
I am VERY guilty of having OCD moments and freak outs (especially when I just cleaned the counter or the dishes out of the sink and then more junk appears). After three weeks, I'm slowly realizing that I'm freaking out over small things and I need to control myself. Going into this big move, my grandmother, mother, sister, and married friends have all told me the same thing..."HAVE PATIENCE MEGAN!" I'm willing to be the first to admit that I do lack in that department, so starting today (or soon haha) I'm going to start being more patient. Working with the man. Communicating. And realizing that the more patient I am with him, the more patient I am with myself and the things that happen around me. We have to start somewhere right...
Women (AND men!) in my family have gone through a lot in their relationships and this is my proof of showing you how well their patience holds...enjoy!

My Parents:
PS-MY BROTHER IS SINGLE! (He is still waiting on that woman to stand by his side). Any takers??
This song is to remind all of us ladies to have a little patience, and just stand by your man...
