As I have visited different blog sites and had other people comment on some of mine, I have noticed folks with a wide range of relationships - some good, some bad, some close, some long-distance. And among them I have seen an equally wide range of emotions over those relationships - some happily in love and others so sad it makes me want to cry. So what makes a good relationship, in your opinion, and what are realistic expectations to have of someone you call your one and only? Because, this too, seems to vary for some couples. I'm anxious to hear people's thoughts.
