Musing on what is
Was speaking with a friend about what provokes anxiety in a relationship. He thought it is when the couple is at odds with the individual. I think it is more that like most things, there is an ebb and flow to love that occurs between two people and that all parties need to be represented. There are three separate entities – the individuals and the relationship – each vying for its own space to thrive in.
Ideally, we can overcome our own ticks to accommodate the greater rewards that come from sometimes yielding the individual to the relationship.
