Do you really believe that? Maybe I'm a piece of shit, but I can't imagine myself being engaged in a relationship giving myself fully to that person and having absolutely 0 expectations of anything in return. Maybe you're wired differently than me. Have you always been like this, or is this tactic of your something I can teach myself?
Your words are really making me thing about my take on love/relationships. In my relationship I do build up certain expectations. Maybe I'll have to learn to expect nothing out of a relationship in order to get everything I want. You seemed pretty certain of yourself.
Sorry to hijack your thread apolian.
