Often in a relationship you find yourself behaving more like you're other half would like you to be. Pretending to be interested in the same things as them just to make them happy. Which of course isn't healthy and is really not a good idea at all. Now don't get me wrong I think you should suffer their boringly long football games, or their shopping trip that makes you want to rip out your eyes at the thought of seeing the credit card bill, but you don't have to pretend it's one of your hobbies. Let them know you're doing it for them not for you, they'll apprieciate it a lot more. And in a healthy relationship it's neccessary for you to like the same things as long as you have fun together. So don't change for your other half because if they don't like you the way you are they shouldn't get to spend time with you. The most important thing in a relationship is being honest so lying about your personality is never going to be a great foundation for a relationship.

how long can you stay true? that what relationship is base on the truth. but if you can't stay true to your self how can you be true to your partner?

sometimes in life people don't like the fact of us being true to our self but if being true to your self brings a smile on your face and you feel so happy then why lie?

if stay true to your self makes you happy then keep on staying true to you.

$izZle agony aunt:) how true.... and yes to add I think its an adventure to actually have some things that are not common so you get to explore what the other likes and maybe you have some things that are common but trust me you will enjoy the things that you don't have in common the most xD .... the smile, to see her doing what she loves the most with joy together with some1 she loves those are moments that make this life worth living for without which we are just normal ppl and im sure she will remember and cherish those moments :) peace out
