Episode notes
Many people in long-term relationships fall into the trap of normalizing the extraordinary qualities and behaviors of their partners over time. As individuals become accustomed to the wonderful traits that make their lives better, they begin to take these qualities for granted, mistakenly viewing them as ordinary expectations rather than unique attributes of their partner. This can lead to a rude awakening when they eventually compare their relationship to others, realizing that what they once appreciated is indeed special. This tendency to normalize the extraordinary can also be observed in broader contexts, such as societal adaptations during significant events, like a pandemic. However, in relationships, this normalization can have detrimental effects, obscuring the value of the unique contributions of a partner.
