You can’t force faithful.
There’s no sense in going to extreme measures to “make sure” someone isn’t going to cheat on you. If someone is going to be unfaithful, they’re going to do it regardless of whether or not you force them to cut contact with all members of the opposite sex, close their facebook account, or always question them until you’re blue in the face. You can’t stop it from happening, you just can’t, and you shouldn’t have to do all that anyway. There needs to be a level of mutual trust.
People are going to be who they really are no matter what you do, so if you can’t trust the person you are with then you might as well just let them go. Why stress over something you cannot control? Sure, we’d like to be in control and have someone cater to our relationship needs, but if they’re not going to do it of their own volition, then what’s the use? Be with someone that is going to treat you well and make you feel secure about yourself and your relationship.
If you don’t want a significant other that’s always flirting with others, then simply don’t be with someone that you know always flirts. (Sounds simple enough, right?) Stop wasting time trying to change someone into what you want, and instead wait it out and be single until you actually find someone who already is what you want.
god you did..

Get what I give
I just want someone who will show me how they feel without me having to ask or drop hints, because they will be intuitive enough to give me the affection I desire and know how much it means to me that I am wanted. I want them to be as in tune to my needs as I am to theirs, because I’ve always felt like I’ve known others better than they knew me. I’d just like a balance, where it finally feels as though I get what I give.

Misinterpreted Hearts: Little Reminders
It’s amazing how seeing just one thing can bring forth such a rush of emotions. The bitter sweet sadness sweeps over you with a tidal wave of memories of days gone by; days you wish you could get back to somehow. Suddenly, you are transported to a time and place when life was different, and you try to hold on to that picture because it’s all you have left. We see their smiling face, hear their voice, remember the warmth of their touch, and the sweet smell they left on our clothes. The moments we lost somewhere in the past still live inside of our hearts, with the small hope that they will return to us someday. That face; I’ll never forget that face.

Misinterpreted Hearts: Broken Bonds of Yesteryear
It’s so weird how two people can be so close and know everything about each other, and then one day it’s just gone. You don’t even know that person that you were once inseparable from anymore. You’re complete strangers and it’s as though you never knew them at all. You’ll live out the rest of your lives without ever being connected again.
Days, months, and years will pass you by and you will most likely have formed a close bond with someone else, and they probably will too. Someday you’ll hear a song, or a line in a movie, read a passage from a book, or maybe even your new “someone” will say something to remind you of your everything from days gone by. In that moment, you’ll wonder what’s become of them, how their life worked out, and if they ever come across a situation where they find themselves reminded of you.
Do they miss you? Do you miss them? Are you where you want to be? Are things as good as they could have been if you never parted ways? These are the thoughts that cause even the most certain of souls to question their fate.
“If only we had fought harder to stick together, then maybe it could have been us; you and I, forever.”…if only.

The sting of her abandonment had not lessened through the years, and I suspected it would never go away. Occasionally, I could see agony in her eyes, the shadows that flickered in the background. If I could, I’d take her pain and make it my own. I’d swallow it like a bitter pill and live with the consequences.

I will give you anything to say you want to stay, you want me too.
Say you’ll never die, you’ll always haunt me.
I want to know I belong to you
Say you’ll haunt me…

Relationships are physics. Time transforms things- it has to, because the change from me to we means clearing away the fortifications you’r put up around your old personality. Living with Susannah made me feel as if I started riding Einstein’s famous theoretical bus. Here’s my understanding of that difficult idea, nutshelled: if you’re riding a magic Greyhound, equipped for light-speed travel, you’ll actually live though less time than will any pedestrians whom the bus passes by. So, for a neighbor on the street with a stopwatch, the superfast bus will take two hours to travel from Point A to Point B. But where you’re on that Greyhound, and looking at the wipe of the world out those rhomboidial coach windows, the same trip will take just under twenty-four minutes. Your neighbor, stopwatch under thumb, will have aged eighty-six percent more than you have. It’s hard to fathom. But I think it’s exactly what adult relationships do to us: on the outside, years pass, lives change. But inside, it’s just a day that repeats. You and your partner age at the same clip; it seems not time has gone by. Only when you look up from your relationship- when you step off the bus, feel the ground under your shoes- do you sense the sly, soft absurdity of romance physics.

Misinterpreted Hearts: I'm (Not) Sorry.
I’m the king of setting myself up for disappointment. I never seem to be “good enough” for anyone, even though I know that isn’t true; even though people give me some really nice compliments. I wonder why everyone says nice things if they have absolutely no intention of backing it up. Don’t bother saying it if you can’t show it, because really if you think I am so great then how come I’m always here on my own?
I know what I have to offer in a relationship, and it’s a whole lot more than the typical jerk-off can—yet time after time I see these low-lives getting the girl. Am I so much of a loser that I am somehow lower than the actual losers? It just doesn’t make sense, it is completely irrational.
I’m sorry I’m too caring. I’m sorry I don’t want to play stupid mind games. I’m sorry I don’t want to compliment you with the sole intention of trying to get in your pants only to dump you when I do. I’m sorry my car isn’t “cool” and I don’t show my body off in front of the mirror whilst making stupid faces in photos. I’m sorry I won’t call you a “bitch”.
I’m sorry I won’t brag to my friends about personal moments we share. I’m sorry I won’t forget your birthday. I’m sorry I won’t forget our anniversaries. I’m sorry I’ll remember everything you tell me, down to the littlest thing. I’m sorry I’ll remember every smile. I’m sorry that I’ll remember every kiss. I’m sorry that the way you walk will be burned into my brain. I’m sorry that certain songs will remind me of you.
I’m sorry that I’ll treat you like my equal; my partner in life. I’m sorry that I’ll protect you. I’m sorry that I want to hold you when you cry. I’m sorry that I would take away all your pain if it was possible. I’m sorry that I want to make up for everything that any other jerk has ever done to you. I’m sorry that I will think you’re the most beautiful girl on earth. I’m sorry that I want something real. I’m sorry that I’d give you forever if you let me.
I’m sorry I’m not the guy that possesses all the qualities you say you don’t want, but then actually go for anyway. I’m sorry I’m not the type of guy that just says things you want to hear, but instead actually follows through on them.
I’m sorry that I’m not sorry at all, because I do what I know is right and that should count for something more.
