time passes so quickly...

its time for exams again... but tt's not the point... its almost 4 months since i've been together with yx... n given my weird tempers, its a miracle we haven't even quarelled once... wonder how its so.... i think credit goes to dear yx for being tolerant and all with me :) yup... it feels good to be in a harmonious r'ship where more time is spent on loving one another rather than engaging in negativities... you can make up and put all the past behind, but to say it doesn't take a toll is not true... i feel, every quarrel does make ppl know more about the other person, but there are other ways to do it... and every quarrel adds a minute hairline crack to the r'ship tt is hardly noticeable, but over time, the strain starts to show... especially if these cracks become frequent... recently, i've been hearing of quite a few breakups... becos of too many quarrels, becos having been together for too long... i wonder, is there ever an expiry date for r'ships? psychology theories teach us theories of love, that love starts from passionate love and mostly ends in companionate love or otherwise dies. does it have to be that way? and how would we know if the other person is truely the one for us? does the environment count? does distance, financial status, ambitions, differential growth experiences make a difference? do they drive ppl who were so in love to break up? i'm afraid i think the answer is love can be v fragile although we often hear of love that withstands all storms. i suppose tt's the way it is with all human r'ships, as much as we hate to admit it, any r'ship is a form of exchange, a form of transaction. but given this fact, i still believe that 2 together can be lasting happiness, it just takes a lof of effort and perhaps sacrifices, and simplicity helps.
