What I learnt, as an adult, is that trust becomes rarer and rarer. Education presents controlled environments, all the way to Uni, that forces people together to become friends both through deliberate friend making exorcises but also in the fact that you're just around each other all the time, by the time it gets to Uni you can literally end up living with them as well.

When you start work, it's really different. You may have people you get on with at work, while you're there, but whereas before all people were doing was going home to their Mum and their dinner by this age, it's more than likely that they are going to their own house to their own lives they are living. As such, even friendship that goes anywhere beyond the workplace is very very difficult to achieve, they have their own friends and their own lives already, let alone anything romantic, let alone even close trust built friendships.

What the heck is Uni?

University.

Never heard it called Uni before lol

Everyone calls it Uni here.

If your partner is receiving hormone therapy, treat them as you would someone in a bad mood on the verge of snapping, because they are.
Long distance relationship means I'm not in a fight, but it makes the silent treatment a hell of a lot more effective...

I dunno how people do long distance, man. I know it sounds noble to say otherwise, but I think every relationship needs a healthy sex life to succeed.

We figure a way out. This is actually the first relationship I have that I consider to be a real one.
As for a sex life, while it would be nice, I don't think it's necessary.

I think a healthy sex life is the most necessary thing out of the lot. It's all well and good to be good friends, but good friends are exactly that. Sex is really the only thing that separates it out.

I actually don't think so. There's more to attraction and bonding than sex.
