I have been doing a lot of thinking about love and  relationships. Below is some of my thoughts about the subject.

1. The reason that so many  relationships fail. I was young starting having a relationship with someone. I could experience lust but not love. For over 30 years I thought that there was something mentally wrong with me. So I stay away from everybody due to the inability to love. Now I believe that true for all young people in general. Furries suffer for it a lot because it so easy to walk away from their current mate and get another like the first person was never there. If you say that not true for most of the population your correct but they are legally married and may have joint assets that make it very hard to just walk away. So they continue to stay together and suffer.

2. If you truly love someone I believe you love for the good and forgive them for the bad . If your trying to change something that is a real part of that person. The relationship is doomed to fail.

3 Love the person for who they are not for what they have. 

4 Jealous  is not a sign of love, it about control.

5. If you with someone that you do not love. Let them know gently and move out. Don't shop for someone new while sharing a bed with the current one. It will hurt the other person some badly that a future friendship will be difficult. The more so if the other person deeply loves you. 

6. Love cannot be one sided. When one of the partners does not love the other it need to end. Both people need to be happy in the relationship or it just wrong.

7. If you breakup with someone there is a clear winner  and loser. The winner needs to understand that the loser is going to feel sad and depressed for a long time. If the winner does not have much empathy they will not understand how the loser feels.
