Who am I I consider myself a very caring person.. I enjoy taking care of others.. I tend to put everyone ahead of me and I'm comfortable with that to an extent because I know I need to be taken care of as well.. I'm very close to my parents in fact we share a place together.. My mother is disabled and needs around the clock attention which my father takes care of most of it, but he himself is getting very tired and needs a helping hand, my father and I are a lot alike in the area of taking care of everyone else and forgetting ourselves, so I'm his back up and at times he is mine.. Even though its not always a convientint situation it's my situation and I wouldn't have it any other way.. I'm pretty much a laid back person I tend to let a lot of things roll just like any other woman guess it just depends on the time of the month (lol), honestly I'm just like most people with roller coaster emothions rather they want to admit it or not to me it just depends on how you handle your emothions.. When I'm sad I tend to cry or just get very quiet, when I'm happy I smile and laugh, and when I'm angry I tend to want to be left alone to think about the situation.. I was in a long marriage centered around drama continous fighting not always knowing why we were fighting, till we both figured out we just couldn't make one another happy.. It was a long hard journy but one I would not change for 3 reasons, 1 being my children, 2 every journy has lessons to be learned so keep your eyes open, and 3 because it made me see whats important to me in a relationship.. I'm the type of woman that enjoys a lot of attention and affection from my partner not a sickening amount because we all do need a little space but a fair amount.. I enjoy the simple things in a relationship, Calls, texts, emails, notes, touches, kisses, hugs, the way he looks at me, talking, being held in his arms, honesty, commentment, compromis, openminded, and faithfulness anything and everything that just shows me he cares and that I'm special to him.. Honestly when it comes down to it all those things are what makes up a good and healthy relationship, if you have that everything else will fall into place... I'm a mother of 3 boys, 2 are living with their dad and my oldest just moved back in with me not to say that the others won't be coming back as well.. It was a tough adjustment not having them with me as I said my life tends to center around my loved ones and well I was a stay at home mother for 14 yrs everything I did centered around them.. In the last few years my life has changed dramaticly and there are still many changes that need to happen, but its all for the good so can't complain about it.. Isn't life ever changing anyways some simple some dramatic... What makes a realtionship work.. To me what makes a relationship work, is understand one another, meaning I see things through my eyes and you see things through yours, but if we can think outside our female and male box enough to understand one another and what makes each other tick it will become a good foundation.. To me each person has to willing to compromise, work hard, make time, be willing to learn and try new things, become intested in one anothers interests, not be afraid of changes because life is ever changing, take chances, believe in one another, Help achieve one anothers dreams, be excepting, loyal, and honest.. These are all very simple things and should be a given in a relationship, but as I step out into the dating world I see that its not and these are the things I'm seeking in someone...
