i agree with Brenda anyone could you give you your physical needs, but not their emotions and how they think of you.

I agree with that anyone can give you physical desires but it is that longing and connection that they destroy for whatever reason and kill that emotion.

I disagree with Jabril that emotional cheating does not exist, and that cheating is just something physical.
I agree with Amore that intimacy is something better than something physically in a relationship.

# data[].attributes.body
I dont agree with Jabril when he says that emotional cheating doesn't exist because it ACTUALLY does. If you're thinking about ANOTHER PERSON then you are in fact CHEATING EMOTIONALLY. Only YOUR PARTNER should be on your mind, nobody else. It depends on how you're thinking.
I agree with Josh that emotional cheating is a sense of hiding and physical you can get caught.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with Jabril on how emotional cheating doesn't exist. Sometimes emotional cheating can lead to engaging in activity to pursue that person.

I agree with Josh on how emotional cheating may not be as bad as physical cheating, but at the same time it could still have the same effect or outcome of physical cheating.

I agree with that mental jealousy is there and it can be form them not being enough or needs to be changed personally and that jealousy is from person from person.

I agree with makialah there. should always be just a tad bit of jealousy but not to the limit as controlling.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with makailah how there should be at least a little bit of jealousy in a relationship but not to the point to where one is controlling the others actions and life basically.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Josh and Manny there should be a little bit of jealously in a relationship just to kind of balance the relationship.
I disagree with David on the fact that jealously doesn't help a relationship at all. I feel like a little bit of jealously helps one's relationship.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with Josh when he said that if your partner is jealous you should step your game up. NO because NO just NO that makes no sense. You're with that person for a reason. Like NO.
I agree with Manny jealousy can lead to assumptions and lack of trust and that'll lead to a failing relationship.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Yuri, you should marry someone you've been close to you cause they know you well

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Mariah that connecting to the person is necessary in relationship. Even if you are not best friends, being close is essential to have meaningful times together.

I agree with Kyndall that many couples often avoid divorce because it is safer and oftenly financially beneficial and people are scared to make the big decision for freedom.

I agree with Timiya that mental jealousy is definitely a thing and people think of people being jealous and analyze the way they act and think.

I agree with Callie that jealousy is a reason for relationship problems and it is not always necessary

I agree with Brenda that emotional cheating in the long run is more disparagingly to a person because emotionally you can connect which is stronger than anything physical.

I disagree with Jazlyn that it's ok to physically cheat if your partner won't have sex with you. You are still committed emotionally and that physical action will be detrimental emotionally.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with that you need to be with someone who knows you, and your needs and certain things about yourself so that in the future you know what best for each other to build that relationship.
I agree that its hard in that some relationships that go long weather it be kids, financial security, or just fear, so they are unhealthy in this toxic relationship with no bond but still stay together.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Mariah that you need a meaningful relationship you cannot think of it solely as its romantic you need to have a close bond.
I agree with Yuri that you need someone that knows you well, your pet peeves, you interests and etc that will go a long way in marriage.
I agree with Makailah that you should put importance on emotional connection instead of mental attraction.
I agree with Jazlyn 100% that there should be trust in a relationship and that your significant other should not be possessive
I agree with Ti'mya that everyones mindset is different so when in a relationship so you have to respect it.Everyone thinks differently.

I agree with Makailah that some jealousy my arise from people being hurt in the past and not wanting to be hurt again.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Brenda on how Janie probably only stayed with Joe because of what they built together. Janie would have had nowhere to go, she needed protection and shelter. She felt she had that with Joe

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Josh when he said it depends on how close you are with your partner and how much you confide in them.
I agree with David that you would get bored of the relationship if you don't have a close relationship. You have to learn to be bored with your spouse.
I disagree with Jabril about how you don't have to be married to your best friend because if your partner doesn't have that quality of a best friend then it cannot work.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with David that to have a successful marriage they should have at least some type of common interests. I agree with Sahil that you shouldn't be in grief for like years, the spouse should spend just a bit of time to mourn over their dead spouse.

I disagree with Josh, jealousy shouldn't be used in causing the other spouse to meet up to the expectations of the jealous spouse. It can lead to one spouse changing up their personality and leading to a falling out of the relationship. I agree with Manny and David that little to no jealousy provides an healthier relationship than a relationship deprived on jealousy.

I agree with Manny that emotional cheating does exist to a certain extinct, like if you're thinking about a person all the time and they are not your spouse it is no okay. I disagree with Jabril that emotional cheating does not exist because if your mind is not completely focused on your spouse and only your spouse, that can be unhealthy. This form of cheating can be blind to the other spouse, leading on someone to think that your fully committed to them and then flirting with others can be messy.

# data[].attributes.body
Friendship
- I agree with Josh in saying that ideally you should be close with your significant other and it would make your relationship stronger to have a friendship. If you don't have any amount of friendship you could grow apart.
- I agree with David that you don't have to be the best of best friends with your significant other but their needs to be some kind of friendship in order for the relationship to be healthy and work out in the long run.
Jealousy
- I disagree with Josh in saying that jealousy can help a relationship and make the other person want to step up their game. It can lead to bad things and not turn out well.
- I agree with Manny that jealousy is bad because it can lead to quit assumptions that are wrong and a lack of trust in the other person and problems later on in the relationship.
Cheating
- I strongly disagree with Jabril in saying that emotional cheating is not a thing and that it shouldn't count unless it is physical. I believe in some instances emotional cheating can be worse than physical cheating.
-  I completely agree with David that emotional cheating is way worse than physical cheating because if your with a person and your committed and love them you shouldn't be thinking about other people or even have the least bit of feelings for another person and throw away your relationship.
- I strongly agree with Brenda that anyone can give you sex and physical things but you don't have any connection  and emotional cheating is terrible because you are breaking their heart and its basically saying you didn't care about the person or feel happy so you had to go find happiness with someone else.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with David & Jabril on how you should on some level be connected In order to be married because the marriage wouldn't;t be successful.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Josh that it seems ideal to be married to your best friend, but it is possible to be married to someone who isn't.
I agree with David and Jabril that you need to have some other connection than romantic, because after a while you have to sit down and talk or deal with important things, and you have to live with this person. And you have to be able to forgive and move forward when you do have a disagreement.
I disagree with not living together before you're married. I think you should live together or stay together some just to see how life is with a person.
I kind of agree that jealousy might be important to have a little of in a relationship, but i disagree that it's to show your partner to 'step up their game' or something like that. I think feeling jealousy over someone you love is natural, and everyone feels that at some point. And I think that even though most don't want it, it does show that you care.
I think that what Jabril is saying makes sense, although emotional cheating definitely is a thing that happens. But just thinking about someone once or even twice, like he said, isn't necessarily 'cheating'. I think that if you are unhappy, or find yourself thinking about other people while in a relationship, you need to get out of the relationship or work with your partner and be honest and trustworthy.

# data[].attributes.body
Point 1: I agree with David that you should have some sort of friend relationship with the person before getting into a committed relationship-especially a marriage.
point 2: I agree with David and I wrote it in my journal that it depends on the relationship between them on how long they stay single.
jealousy Point 1: I agree with David that it shows that the other person cares but it shouldn't be excessive to the point where it is controlling
Cheating point 1: I disagree with Jabril because emotion cheating for me is just as equal as cheating physically
Cheating point 2: I agree with Sanders in the fact that the flirting is more interesting for some people and they don'
t want to be tied down by a serious relationship like marriage.

# data[].attributes.body
Point 1: I agree I think relationships are more successful when the couple is closer, it would be hard to get along and they wouldn't be able to communicate there wouldn't be much substance in the relationship.
Point 2: People don't have to be BEST friends ,but you need to be close because you need to be able to balance your relationships with friends and also with your spouse because some problems could come up and you would have anyone else there for you.
Point 3: I disagree with Josh because jealousy can tear down relationships more than making the other person think they have to improve themselves because its a psychological thing and then self confidence goes down and people change themselves when they think they aren't good enough or have a constant fear of losing that person.
Point 4: I disagree with Jabril emotional cheating does exist because you could become more connected to someone else when that could be for you partner. Which would make you less close. I think intimacy is more important than physical things. Loving someone without lust is so much better than sex and more.

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree with Josh that typically the closer you are the more successful a marriage will be. You need to have a connection that you can build off of and further your relationship.

I agree with Manny that jealousy can lead to quick assumptions and a lack of trust, but at the same time a bit of jealousy is needed because it shows that that want you and want to continue the relationship.

I disagree with Jabril. Emotional cheating does exist. If you are actively seeking out a person to interact with them and constantly trying to get close to them then you are cheating. No questions asked.

# data[].attributes.body
1.I agree (w/David and Josh) that you don't have be exactly best friends with your s/o but you would need to establish a sort of close connection to stay emotionally attracted to them.
2.Just as Josh said jealousy is helpful to a relationship because it keeps the partner on their toes about wanting to improve themselves to treat you better.
3.However,I agree with Manny that jealousy could also be bad for a relationship because it could cause a bubble of mistrust that causes one of the people in the relationship to fear what the other is doing,and this could cause them to separate.
4.As manny said if you're consciously flirting with someone,knowing that what you're doing is wrong,then that desire to want to go back and do it again will lead to something that will cause the relationship to go downhill.
5. I do not agree with Jabril that emotional cheating doesn't exist. Though I do agree that if you're not consciously pursuing the said person,trying your hardest to get them interested,flirt all the time with them,then it's no one's fault.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Josh that if you are closer to your partner then the more successful the relationship will be. Also that the first years of marriage seem like everything is going to be good but as time passes you see who truly a person is.
I agree with Jabril that you don't have to be best of friends to marry them but their needs to be a type of bond their.
I agree with Sahil that it truly depends on a person on whether they want to move on either gradually or slowly.
Jealousy
I disagree with Josh that jealousy is something okay in a relationship, it should not overtake the relationship.
I agree with Manny that jealousy means that there is a lack of trust between the relationship.

# data[].attributes.body
Point 1: I agree with Josh that there is a possibility that relationships between two people who aren't best friends can potentially be successful.
Point 2: David points out that you do not necessarily have to be best friends with your spouse, but there should be a close relationship between the two.
Point 3: Janie has a right to move on as quick as she did after Joe's death because he mistreated her, and he was controlling. His last words were hurtful too. I would feel relieved if he passed too.
Point 4: I agree with Josh that jealousy is helpful in a relationship, but i disagree that it signals that someone needs to step their game up.
Point 5: I disagree with JaBril! Emotional cheating does exist, and it is just as bad as physical cheating because it shows that you are not being considerate of your partner's feelings when having thoughts about someone else.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Josh that having more in common with your wife or husband definitely makes the marriage more successful but it's not entirely possible to have everything in common and to be on the same terms all the time but it advances the relationship and pushes you to try and compromise in the relationship more.

I also agree that a lot of people completely change themselves to be in a relationship with a certain person.

I disagree that jealousy is good in the sense that it will result in someone stepping up their game. You shouldn't have to feel like you need to be a certain way if you're giving a relationship your all. I think it's important to be yourself and let your partner know you are completely committed to them, if they are confident in your relationship they should be able to trust you.

I completely disagree with Jabril. OF COURSE emotional cheating exists. If your significant other tells you they are uncomfortable with you being so flirtatious and comfortable with so many other people, then you should be considerate of their feelings.

# data[].attributes.body
- I agree with David that you don't need to the same as your spouse, but you do need to be friends. You need to have things to talk about and ways to keep your relationship interesting if you want it to last.
- I do agree with Sahil that the amount of time to wait after a death is specific to each person. Some people want to mourn for a while, and some want to move on quicker. However, I don't think it should be too immediate because grief and loneliness can affect decision making.

- I disagree with Josh because I think jealousy causes more arguments and worries in a relationship. If you are in a committed relationship, you shouldn't have to be constantly worrying about what your partner is doing or fighting for their attention.

- I disagree with Jabril because I think that relationships involve an emotional as well as physical connection. If you are really happy in a relationship, you wouldn't need to have someone else on your mind. I understand thinking people are attractive, but if you are seeking out their attention then that is too far.
-I agree with Josh that emotional cheating is destructive because it is more than lustful thoughts, it is seeking out happiness somewhere else and playing with your partner's emotions.

Entry #1: I Agree With Josh That It Depends On Your Views To Go Determine Whether Or Not You Are With Your Closest Friend In A Relationship Or Not.
PREACH DAVID ! You Do Not Have To Marry Your Best Friend. You Can Marry Someone That Your Are Close With But It DOES NOT have to be your best friend. As you enter adulthood your spouse should be your second half that does not mean they are your best friend.
Entry#2: I Agree With Josh That A Certain Amount Of Jealousy May Be Healthy In A Relationship.
Certain People Need Jealousy To Survive A Relationship. It Keeps them Going And They Rely On It For Certain Reasons To Them That May Be Important That You May See A Different Way.
Entry #3: I Disagree With Jabril On This One. If There Is A Mental Disconnection Between People It Won't Be Long Before The Connection All Together Goes Away. Although I Agree That Perception May Get In The Way Of What Is Really Going On.
I Agree With Sahil And David That Emotional Cheating Is A Problem.

# data[].attributes.body
-I agree with Josh that the closer the friendship you and your significant other have, the more successful the relationship will be. I think if two people are close before they enter a relationship they will be able to avoid most awkward situations and conversations or difficult questions because your best friend already knows these things!
-I agree with Jabril that marriages don't have to be BEST FRIENDS but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be close friends.
-I really didn't disagree with anything.

-I completely disagree with Josh when he said jealousy makes their partner "step up". RELATIONSHIPS AREN'T A COMPETITION. You shouldn't have to compete for a spot in your spouses life.
-I agree with Manny.

-I disgree with Jabril that emotional cheating doesn't exist. Like if you are telling someone you love them while dating someone else that isn't cheating??? You aren't giving someone else your heart???
-I agree with David because emotional cheating is your heart and your brain like its your feelings. Sex is sex. It can mean everything or it can mean nothing. So I think if you just have feelings for someone thats so much deeper than having physical relationships with someone. Anyone can have sex. Not everyone can connect on that deeper level.

*I agree with what Josh said about saying that the closer you are to your partner the more successful you will be. There might be a way that it could work without a connection , but more than likely it's just not going to work. You have to have a connection to someone.
*I also agree with Jabril's statement stating that you should be really close with that person before going any further with marrying someone. There comes a time where you need support if you can't talk to them about your problems then what's the point.
-I disagree with Josh and I agree with him because if you dont' have jealousy its like what do you have to offer. I also agree with Manny about having to keep the relationship flowing.
-If the person knows that their partner isn't going to hurt them emotionally then that's up to them to put up with it , but if not then maybe it's not for you. I disagree with Jabril because emotional cheating does exist you cant tell someone that emotional cheating doesn't exist. Thats DUMB its a DUB!
