The Love Test

I know because I tested it.  I was willing to let it go if it didn't pass.  At first it didn't pass.... but it came back and passed.  Then went away again and came back again.... and passed.  And continues to pass with flying colors.

How did I test it?

By being honest and true to myself.

I established boundaries.  I decided what kind of behavior I would/would not tolerate from a partner and stuck to my guns.  

It played out like an ultimatum (I can't live with this behavior, so change it or don't be with me) over a series of fights, over the course of a couple of years.

And it came back better each time.

In conclusion, using my personal experience as a guide,

1. Test your love by being true to yourself!

2. Test your love by being honest to your partner!

3. Test your love by being willing to give it up when shit gets nutz!

I would rather be alone than waste time with a partner that isn't as awesome as I am!  Life is hard enough!
