Sometimes I think living with your partner can mean the end of your relationship. This was the case with my first boyfriend. The minute we moved in, the relationship started breaking down. They say that distance makes the heart grow fonder…but maybe it is distance and space? Ellie reckons that couples should take a break every three to four years. She says you need to fall in love with the person again.

But all had not been well in Netherlands. They had actually broken up…and gotten back together. Ellie said that was the best thing that ever happened to their relationship. Having a break caused them to break up but only temporarily…being away from each other for a period of time actually made them fall in love again. After six weeks, they started dating…again. Our conversation got me thinking about breaks and break ups? After a period of say three years, should all relationships take a break? And then should the couple start dating again? Often, we forget why we fell in love for that person in the first place. I actually know couples who claim that space is what keeps their relationships going. One couple I know bought two terrace houses next to each other. They connected them but each kept his own house. They lived together but apart at the same time.

The new boy has done nothing wrong…he was just being honest. And I was being overly sensitive. I see threats out of innocent situations…and my mind always races to the worst case scenario. I think that if I can find fault in a relationship early…I can get out and not get hurt. Jealousy is found in every type of human relationships: family, friendships and romantic relationships. It is definitely not my most attractive side…and I am hoping to work on it in 2007.

How do you know you are addicted to something? If you stop doing it, you get withdrawal symptoms. After taking an anti anxiety medicine for the last few months, I have decided to stop putting mind altering chemicals into my body. I have reduced my dosage from 50 mg every day to 50 mg every three days. The only problem is the fact that I have actually become addicted to this stuff and now I am having some serious withdrawal symptoms. My doctor suggested I stop the medication more gradually, at 25 mg every day for two weeks. I figured I would go as long as my body could without the chemical…and thee days is the longest I can go without some heavy duty symptoms. The lack of medication causes me to feel jolty electric zaps, tremors and occasional dizziness. These withdrawal symptoms illustrate just how such a small dosage of chemicals can affect your brain.

I am turning into my crazy possessive jealous ex-boyfriend…and I am not liking this side of me. When I am in love with someone, I can became irrationally jealous. Maybe it is insecurity…maybe it is my previous trust issues with men coming to the surface…maybe it is my environment….but it is definitely not my boyfriend. My grandfather was a legendary womaniser. He even died at his mistress’s house. He had more girlfriends while he was married then when he was single. My father used to tell me you should always have a back up girlfriend when you had a wife. My mother taught me never to trust men. I cheated on my last boyfriend. He cheated on me as well.
