B]Excellent Points Jeanne I think.

Adding a bit...

It is necessary to any Relationship, and from any orientation or position, for each and every person involved to be; Honest Open Responsible and Consistent, with their Partner(s). That is if there is to be any true success at all in having that relationship, and or maintaining it.

Things do Change and people do Grow, in Life and Love. Life and Living presents us all with many challenges, obstacles, and opportunities, every day. But it is each of our Responsibility to manage these things, and remain Responsible to our Partner(s), by keeping them abreast of what affects them, as well as our Agreements with, or Word to, them, as we move through our time together.

Native American people term this "Walk Your Talk".

3 simple words really. Though the meaning not so simple, nor easily accomplished sometimes. However well worth the effort I believe and ime. Words I Live by.

If you can't, or don't intend to do something, don't say it, or agree to it. If something is different than what you initially said, or changes, Say so. It's called Communication.

Walk Your Talk!
