Can you be in a relationship without dating?

In online dating, the relationship is often secured before any dating is really possible. And even in real life, people can talk/e-mail to each other so much and then fall in love with each other/decide to have a relationship without having to date.

zoobyshoe said: All of my relationships started without formal dating. Whenever I asked a girl out on a formal date, it never went anywhere. It makes you both feel weird and artificial. On the other hand, if you just hang out comfortable and casually, things happen. Same with me. The relationships that have lasted any amount of time (and even when they ended, we stayed friends) have been ones where we just clicked without any formal anything.I sometimes joke about how my boyfriend and I slept together before we had our first date. But I really mean slept. We were both in a wedding party together, and everyone was getting quite toasted during the rehearsal dinner. He and I just hit it off and stayed up half the night together talking (his very first words to me were "A girl after my own heart" when I ordered my steak rare while sitting next to him at the rehearsal dinner...he had no idea how prophetic that was at the time). By the time we decided we better go back to our rooms, everyone else was asleep. I was sharing a room with a few other bridesmaids, and my key wouldn't work in the door (they might have latched the deadbolt or something). It was so late, I didn't want to wake them all up, and just as I was trying to figure out what to do, he came running back, hoping to catch me before I got back to the room, to tell me he forgot to ask for a goodnight kiss (yep, he was already smitten by then). It was cute, and sweet, and cocky, and perfect, and considering I couldn't get into the room where I was supposed to be sleeping, after the kiss, he was generous enough to let me sleep in his room. I KNOW he was hoping for more than that, but had to settle for just sleeping, and was such a gentleman, he even offered to sleep on the couch in the room so I could have the bed, even though it was HIS room! It of course didn't stop any of the rumors the next day when all the other bridesmaids knew I hadn't returned to the room that night. :rofl:Then, on the wedding day, I was suffering terribly from the hangover and not getting nearly enough sleep the night before. When he realized how bad I was feeling during the ceremony, he appeared by my side at the reception with a packet of Advil. My knight in shining armor.I love telling this story, because I'm still in love with him 15 years later. We've had our ups and downs and taken separate paths and come back together, but through it all, we're both still madly in love with each other.The guys who I started out with on dates are all long gone. Something made me think of one of them recently, and I sat there racking my brain thinking, wow, I can't even remember his last name. But, that one did better than the others who I can't even remember their first names. I sometimes forget how many dates I've been on, because they really led nowhere.Edit: LOL...I hadn't realized I'd replied to this before. Funny I replied to the same post both times. I guess now you all can tell I mean it. :rofl:

What is a toxic wife like?

Some of the signs of a toxic person include: Toxic individuals constantly belittle their partner, for example, by making fun of them in front of others or dismissing their ideas, thoughts, and desires as stupid or silly. Another common trait frequently seen in toxic marriages is anger.

In a healthy marriage, partners are emotionally supportive, trustworthy, loyal, and loving. They enjoy each other’s company, are committed to raising a family (if they have one), and have admiration and respect for one another.

Sounds simple, right?

But in the real world, marriages are far more complicated. Maintaining a successful relationship requires immense effort. Once the rush of endorphins is over, the illusions quickly shatter and a partner’s imperfections become obvious. And while it’s perfectly normal to have waxing and waning intimacy, even disagreements, what’s not acceptable is a toxic marriage, which can play havoc with your health and happiness. Living with a toxic person should never be an option. The first step in fixing an unhealthy relationship is understanding what are the signs of a toxic marriage. And if fixing it doesn’t work, then you should learn how to get out of a toxic marriage.
