Real Relationships have Trust

If you don't have trust, you don't have a relationship.  You have an acquaintance.  I have found 3 things that you must have for a real relationship.

1. You have to have trust.  Trust that keeps us together.  I trust him, he trusts me. 
2. Respect for each other.  He has a life, he is busy with work, his friends and his theater.  I have my work,my friends and my stuff going on too.  So, if we don't have time to talk for a couple days, we are cool with it, because we understand that the other is busy.  
3. Understand what pushes their buttons.... With my Mark... he can't take drama.  That is cool with me, because I'm not a drama kind of gal.  If we want that we turn on Judge Judy or Dr. Phil.
