Whatchu Talkin' Bout

As we actually approach what feels like spring in Wisconsin, the weather is changing along with lots of attitudes about friendships/relationships. This is the beginning where the jealousy, arguments and breakups start to happen. It is all a precursor for the summer where the clothing is sparse and the hookups are plenty. Lots of significant others are beginning to ask themselves: "Do I want want to be tied down this summer?... will I have more fun if I'm single" which spawns numerous other questions... The thing is, relationships are all about trust, on BOTH ends. You can't ask your sig other to trust you and tell you everything that they're doing if you check up on their Facebook and Foursquare updates every 20 minutes. It's just not fair. It's a give and take situation.

Friendships are also on the chopping block as the weather gets nicer and entourages get bigger. Everyone's drinking, it's a Sunday Funday... where are your friends?... Petty fights are bound to happen but the key to any successful relationship whether you're dating/friends/siblings, etc. is communication. Verbal, visual or data linked, it's your skeleton key. How are YOU connected?
