My bf already knows and thinks it's great that I look for objective advice on a forum like this. For one, it really helps to get my thoughts and feelings in order before I talk to him (thus saving time and energy... ie. no misunderstandings... and in some instances, realizing I could figure out the problem on my own). Second, I learn a lot from reading other posts... sometimes from the lessons people try to teach others... and sometimes from poor advice and the collective corrections the forum gives. And third, a woman's gotta talk and explore emotions... and no matter how understanding a man may be (or try to be) there is a limit... so discussing and learning on forums like this really takes the load off with him so our time together is better spent.
"The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong."
