Mac Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 My girlfriend brought up a good point the other day, she said how wonderful it is that we are both "givers." I've always been a giver, probably too much of one occasionally. DW was a giver too, all through her life she went to extraordinary lengths to help others. GF has always been a giver, it's how she's wired. It certainly does make for a more balanced relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swilson Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Mac, it's good you share that trait as it could be a sticky point for some. I would be looking for that giving spirit in any future lady, to loosely quote St. Francis "It's in giving of ourselves that we receive". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Mac, it's good you share that trait as it could be a sticky point for some. I would be looking for that giving spirit in any future lady, to loosely quote St. Francis "It's in giving of ourselves that we receive". That's a beautiful quote. The Prayer of St. Francis was one of DW's favorite songs. I included it in the brochure that I made for her funeral and that was one of the songs that we sang at her funeral. I was in a relationship for nine months with a very nice woman. There were many good things about her and the time that we spent together. But ultimately I realized that we weren't compatible long-term. She definitely wasn't as much of a giver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daysofelijah Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I like how you put that. NG and I are much more givers, and I think we were both married to takers. It is so much more comfortable this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
