What was the best relationship advice you've ever gotten?

Unread post by Sam W »

The world is chock-full of relationship advice. Some of it's good, some of it is...less so. And sometimes good advice can come from unexpected places. For instance, it was my beloved Freshman P.E teacher who was the first person to talk about relationships requiring communication and compromise in order to function.

What about y'all? What was the best relationship advice you ever got, and where did it come from?
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.

My fourth grade teacher told me that I would find someone that cherished and respected me. This is really important to me and it has stuck with me over the years.

When I'm in relationships I have this really bad habit of a) sticking with really dysfunctional folks that none of my friends like and b) losing myself in the relationship. A lot of the best advice I've heard comes from really corny "you're beautiful and you don't need anybody else songs" because it helps to be constantly reminded that I deserve good things, and that anybody that doesn't want me as I am is not worth my time.
