Relationships are …
I was driven to the airport by a friend who had come back to the U.S. suddenly in crisis – she had sublet her apartment, gone out of the country to be with her boyfriend and secured a number of gigs while there. Then it blew up.
I arrived in Spain to learn that my dear friend was leaving her partner after twenty years as he wrestled with whether there was love left.
I arrived in New Orleans to learn that my dear friend who had just gotten engaged had called it off after more had been revealed.
Last night, a friend came over to tell me he is splitting up after 18 years with his wife.
Someone asked me recently if I know anyone who has a good relationship.
I do know people who have a good relationship. Not perfect. But loving and supportive.
Thankfully.
