Thanks right back at you, Sad! Good thread you've got going here. The only other thing I would add right now is that a sign of a healthy relationship, IMHO, is that the partners can give and take criticism. That can't be all there is, of course, any more than it can be solely a mutual admiration society. I've dated women who could not take criticism, and I've had a hard time listening to it myself. Being dumped is probably the ultimate form of negative feedback, but I hope that I'm a better person for having gone through it as often as I have.
