Hello all relationship misfits. The time has come look no further for questions, concerns and heartache. I can totally relate to all relationship problems. Why you ask?

Well because going out with someone for almost 5 years has taught me a lot. I've been the player as well as the playee. I have gone through the lies, the great way we connect, the cheating, the beautiful things we say to eachother, the mistrust, the way I feel when he touches me, the not talking for weeks, the 'please don't go home" and end the day look, the friends with the opposite sex, the way we are always there for eachother, the spying (yes, the Internet spy game), the way we curl up together, the ultimatums.

So many ups and downs has been, well exhausting as well as enlightening. You never gain unless you lose.

Most of the wonderful panelists have had one bad relationship, learned from there mistakes, then one good relationship where they have had the second chance to make amends from the first. But I have had both in one complete relationship.

I am a 22 year old female that has grown quite a bit since the tender age I started dating my loving boyfriend. You could probably say that I have really grown up with my boyfriend. I remember him as an unlicensed, non-hairy male as he would recall me as a "babe coming out of the woods", "mommy pet".

Most people define themselves as by "themselves", that they stand alone. But I am so proud of being able to define myself and as an individual as well as defining myself because of my soul mate. He makes me complete as well as I make him. But people need to realize is that this is all a process. We can not all wind up with a wonderful, meaningful and lasting relationship if we give up because we might have one unpleasureable romp in the sack or that our partner may be insensitive at times. This is all reality! And sometimes reality "sucks"! But it is the way we deal with these situations that, one makes us stronger and two gives us our experience.

I do not claim to be Ann Landers or Dr. Ruth but this is not that kind of website! I just want to give people a chance to learn from my mistakes, get advice from a person who is honest and caring and who has really been on the "rollercoaster of love" and who has kinda mastered it a little :^).
