    Be honest to yourself and your partner. Must respect your partner all time. Other things will follow.

    it's true about the "i can't live without you" rule... it basically becomes a red flag to people who are just in the mental state of dating around for potential mate... but then again, every relationship is a risk... so, regardless of whethere we base our relationship issues on supposedly "rules" it always comes down to wanting to be with the person and preserve that relationship ... rather than be with that person for now, then go relationshopping...

    Another thing that I feel you should never tell your mate is, "the number of people that you've slept with." It's not that important anyway since it happened in the past. You don't have to lie, but if they do ask, it would be best to say, "I don't care to discuss that, it's in the past."

    I have to agree with the things left unsaid about attraction. At the beginning of our relationship my boyfriend did not know when to shut is mouth. So when I my weight went up or when I had morning breath or wear something unflattering to him he would let me know. There was more but now I have to say that enjoying intimate time is not so easy or fun. He has learned since but I still cannot fight the insecurities that he has laid out. I agree NEVER say I cannot live without you but I do think that you should use opportunities to show a little vulnerability to show that you are risking your heart to be here and give to your partner.

    I think this article is right on the money...I especially agree with the last part-the I can't live without you. I can relate to this situation. I think though if a relationship is healthy one should be able to state their opinion on the other's friends and way of dressing.

    I'd like to introduce the #6 thing you should never share......"My ex-boyfriend's unit was really huge" or "My ex-girlfiend gave the best h#@d" We really don't need too know these things.

    another home run for david! honesty is the best policy, but that doesnt mean you have to share everything at the same time!

    This is asinine. If you cannot be honest with your partner, then who can you be honest with? There is no need to just say things that you know will start an argument, but there is no need to lie either - not if you love each other.

    When you feel that you can't live without the other person, you lose your sense of self. When this happens, all that matters is what the other person wants. This is not healthy for the relationship. Most of us know this to be true whether we say it or not.

    I loved the article. I however would add the (But I need you.) as something else not to say and be very cautious should someone say it to you. there is a big difference in being needed and being wanted. The desperation in a needful person can suck all the joy out of a relationship.
