I Want a Peanut Butter & Jelly Kind of Love

 
 
I was talking to a friend of mine about her boyfriend, and she said that he 'completes her'.  Maybe it's just me, but I've never wanted to be 'completed' by someone else.  I like knowing that I'm complete and awesome all by myself. 
 
I have never, while in love, said that about a man, and I don't intend to.  What I'd like is to be 'complemented' by a man, in a situation where two complete and happy people come together, and are better together than they were separately.
 
I'm going to compare this to food, with which I am very well acquainted.  Peanut butter, all by itself, is awesome.  I often eat it by the spoonful when I need a quick snack, and I love it.  Strawberry jelly is wonderful, too.  Each of them are great by themselves, or mixed with other foods.  They don't need each other in order to taste great.  But - if you put them together, you make something incredible.  I haven't ever met anyone who didn't like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. 
 
Great by themselves, but incredible together - that's the kind of relationship I want, the kind of love I want.

Interesting topic: I am currently feeling like im missing something in my life. Once you have had a special relationship with someone, going on without them can make you question, "do i rely on someone else for my happiness?" or to be complete. maybe duality is in human nature? Yes and No.

dear courtney,

I have to differ, hon...wiz does complete me. He is like the piece of me that has been missing all these years...he and I are one soul inhabiting two separate bodies...it's weird, i know...and i've never known anything like it before. But he truly does bring what was missing in my life to it.

That depends on where the nuts reside, hopefully not in the head.

And it doesn't hurt if the peanut butter has really big NUTS! ;)

(A+ for the analogy).

You're correct. I think you need to be complete before you find that special person. No one can come along and make it better or "complete you." Know what I mean. Have a great day and be blessed!

FWIW, I do not like PB & J. Peanut butter only, please. Never met a jelly, marmalade or preserves that I liked. Yeah, I know, always the contrarian. :)

I think it's the opposite and we complete them. We always know where their clean socks are! I just remembered how much I missed reading your space, glad I popped in.

hey - great site. i agree with what you saying about men completing us - its a crazy idea. Good analogy with food though! Just passing and saw your site - the title caught our attention. We're Irish and we went to america this summer - quite an experience, hence our blog. Whats your connection with Ireland?

Well I think after the movie Jerry Mcguire that line became a little over used. I agree with you, a relationship is two unique individuals coming together as one while still remaing two. Now Peanut butter with chocolate is good, but have you ever tried it with an apple. Just cut the apple in half and spread a knifefull on...........hmmmm.

Have a good day, Courtney.

I agree--"completes" sounds like we need a man to be whole as a person. I prefer to think of my hubby as someone who "compliments" me in every way. Well, except for when I accidentally burn his dinners. You get the point.

Great site; I came to visit from Cybil's. Thanks for the tour!

I agree with you 100%. I'm going through my college student phase and J (my fiance) has already established himself, and is continuing to do so. I don't want to get married or do anything above this relationship step until I've established myself (not necessarily just financially, but mentally and physically). I also feel that it's necessary to be whole before joining with another person. Even though people say that two halves make a whole, nothing is permanent and a half can't do anything by herself (or himself). I really like your peanut butter and jelly analogy.

Enjoying your blog!! Stay sweet!
