Starting A New Gay Relationship - Part 2

[ continued from yesterday ]

Nurturing new relationships takes time and effort. Let's look at two uncomfortable issues that can come up: arguments and sexual interest.

Perhaps you're home with Mr. Right and you have your first argument. Nothing too serious, but it's hard not to feel unsettled. What's going on here?

A piece of advice many couples have found works for them is: never go to bed angry. Stay with the argument until it gets resolved instead. Conflict can make you anxious when a relationship is new, but don't shy away from speaking your mind.

Relationships where one or both partners avoid showing their true feelings in disputes with one another are relationships that aren't going to last.

Starting A New Gay Relationship – Part 1

Starting a new relationship can feel a bit disorienting.  At first everything is exciting; this is what you’ve always wanted, right?  Months or years – seems like a lifetime – of dating, and all of a sudden here he is!  What’s next?

Relationships require care and encouragement and it helps to get things started on the right foot.  Perhaps your first thought is, “so when do we start living together?”  Whoa – slow down.  Most of us know guys who went home from the bar together the night they first met, and one of them basically never went home.  Other couples have been together for years, but find it more agreeable to keep separate households.

Take time to find out what the right rhythm is for each of you.  If your tendency in the past has been to make a commitment like moving in with someone after only a few weeks only to find that the relationship never should have happened, make a commitment to yourself that this time you are going to wait at least six months before combining your CD collections. What’s the rush?
