I'll tell you the same thing I told him.
When someone says they love you, they should bring out the best in you. She knows your goals, she should support them, not try to test you or make you choose. She should be the one who
makes you happy and proud of your endeavors. It is important to find someone who sees in you all you can be JUST AS you see in her all she can be. True love allows that to grow. If you spend your time fighting over studies or interests, you are circumventing growth and eventually, success in life. Love brings out the BEST you can be, NOT causes you to become stagnant. Love is reciprocal. You must feel her needs are as important as yours and then support her as you know she should support you. ****Forty years from now, as you look across the breakfast table, you must see your best friend, because sex can't keep it together.
True love is not freely given in the form of a one night stand (or two). True love grows with time.
Yes, I DO talk this way.
****This is what my husband said to me before we married.
