max, Kevin is mine and I will fight you for him!
Octavius, was your use of the name Kevin intended to epitomise a certain type of chap? ;)
Lakitu, I do agree love. It takes a lot to temper expectations, no matter how realistic we think we are! Relationships are so much hard work, as we have chatted about before. Nothing is ever as straightforward as it seems. We have to negotiate our own "baggage" (for want of a far better term!), and other peoples', as well as societal misconceptions and bl00dy women's magazines that try and dictate that we should be doing this, this and this to "catch Mr Right", and that if we aren't, there's obviously something very wrong with us!
There's nothing wrong with admitting that love is complicated, and happy/sad, and the best thing to ever happen to you, and the most painful experience you have ever endured...
