Back at least temporarily.

How could I possibly let Valentine’s Day go by without some sort of update here? We’ll see how things go…

Comment on Rules in Relationships and Where They Come From by Anonymous

Very much so, most of the time

This is why I’m so against playing the coy games that we’re all brought up to think are normal and acceptable. Without that clear understanding and communication of hopes and expectations, we’re just asking for trouble in our relationships.

The main rules we always think of, though, are external to ourselves and, therefore, rarely fit well for the individual, let alone the pair.

I’d like to add that rules also need to be flexible as they change with people’s needs and expectations. I agree with your friend’s quote: “…there are no rules, there’s only what people like & don’t like.” But most don’t admit that’s what hopes or expectations are — they’re rules.

Can’t say I’ve ever heard of a “hate crush”.

There are those relationships that start off based on a bit of antagonism, but I’ve always seen that as more the product of the ridiculous relationship games we’re all trained to think are the way things need to be. Either that or one (or both) parties involved not wanting to admit who they really are and what they really want out of a relationship.

Definitely an interesting concept, though. Have you heard of it before? If so, where? I’m curious!
