It's like what your counselor said... no one loses, you come to a 3rd position, wherein both sides benefit and are happy.<br /><br />Anyway, it's wonderful that you are both willing to work on it. That in itself is something that makes me smile.Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2071839274179654926.post-5058096198564628572011-04-18T05:18:01.380-07:002011-04-18T05:18:01.380-07:00I have to agree with Anne...I think Jung got it to...I have to agree with Anne...I think Jung got it too! and Big Puppy and I are opposites and we have learned..well actually still learning but if you take Anne's comment about attraction (which I also BELIEVE in) we draw people toward us at the same point of pain..and within each person is either a quality we desire to have or not like so much about ourselves. If you can look at it as a gift ... say thank you for being opposite but thank you for helping US grow!Jules - Big Girl Bombshellhttp://biggirlbombshell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2071839274179654926.post-55765761517115302452011-04-16T19:05:03.401-07:002011-04-16T19:05:03.401-07:00Yes - I think Jung got it - in fact he was very cl...Yes - I think Jung got it - in fact he was very close to being Enlightened! Just my opinion. <br />And perhaps he was talking about not just the physical.... I read his stuff as being very metaphysical as well....so it works on many levels.<br />About the attraction - maybe we see (in others) what we see in ourselves..... but have projected the meaning outwards... maybe we react to others because we know we have the same issues ourselves.....<br />maybe not always in form, but definitely in content!<br /><br />Or maybe my concussion is acting up again!!!<br />Glad things are going well, PB!Anne Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435482289459434828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2071839274179654926.post-39207277800364361052011-04-16T04:34:22.106-07:002011-04-16T04:34:22.106-07:00This reminds me of the cliche that when we are fir...This reminds me of the cliche that when we are first with some one we appreciate their differences and quirks and are often attracted to them because of it. But over time those very same things are what frustrate us no end!Karen@WaistingTimehttp://www.waistingtimeblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
