Relationships are tricky, especially the ones we've built the modern world around. Anne-Marle Lindbergh says that perhaps the way to get that is by relaxing these standards a little bit. Don't expect too much from any of them or from any person in them. We have to let them change and grow, just as we are changing and growing. If we stay, we must settle in for the long haul while also understanding that we are not in control of the destination.
Relationships are tricky. Especially the ones we have built the modern world around. Monogamous. Long term. An equal partner in parenting and in professional pursuits. Oh and our partner is supposed to be our best friend too.
It’s a lot to ask of someone. Harder still when you throw in the craziness of kids and the current state of the world. But you deserve a partner like that, and they deserve a partner like you. We deserve happiness and fulfillment and love, together.
