Loving relationships, though necessary for life, health, and growth, are among the most complicated skills. Before we can be successful at achieving relationships, it is necessary that we broaden our understanding of how they work, what they mean and how what we do and believe can enhance or destroy them. We can accomplish this only if we are willing to put in the energy and take the time to study failed relationships as well as examine successful ones. Loving relationships cannot be taken lightly. Unless we are looking for pain, they must not be forever approached in a trial and error fashion. Too many of us have experienced the cost of these lackadaisical approaches in terms of tears, confusion and guilt. Leo Buscaglia
About This Quote

Love is a difficult thing to understand. Everyone has different ideas of what love is and what it means to them. There are so many different types of love and so many different ways to express it. Too often we end up in relationships that we shouldn't be in or we end up finding the wrong people and then we end up feeling guilty that we shouldn't be in the relationship because we don't love them like they should be loved.

We shouldn't rush into a relationship and then wonder why it didn't work out or why we ended up hurting each other. We all need to take time to figure out what our definitions of love are and what type of love is best suited for us. If you do end up in a relationship that isn't working, you need to make sure you don't get involved with someone else because the other person isn't there for you, but instead find someone who is there for you if you aren't there for them.
