On that note, I've also found that true opposites (such as, a mismatched value system) can take a part of you away. Almost all of my relationships brought complements of some sort to my foundation as a person, but a few opposites also took something away, and I had to re-build those sections. It wasn't trivial, so I'm very wary now of true opposites entering my life.

My man friend and I get along great. We have a special bond and he is somewhat attracted to me. However, he does not feel that the physical chemistry is there and he needs in order for passion and growth of the relationship. I do not know what to think of this comment except that he is telling me that he no longer wants to pursue this relationship. My question about a love relationship:

You learn more about yourself through your interactions with others, and romantic relationships certainly teach you a lot. But that's not the only type of relationship that teaches you. Some believe that when you meet someone you can commit to, it's a recognition that this person is someone with whom you can continue to learn about yourself. The reason you're committing is that they will provide you with a lifetime of lessons and you with them. Ultimately, it's the quality of the relationships that makes you more of a complete person, not the quantity. The word “relationship” is overloaded.

Does this mean we truly cannot remain committed to one relationship for life? So, in order to become a more complete person, I need to be in as many relationships as possible?
