People, for whatever reason, oftentimes do not do what they’re supposed to do even when you yourself are doing your part [which too is unlikely 100 percent of the time]. So how do you think you’re typical individual behaves when faced with a situation where the person across from them is not consistently measuring up to expectations? They start to slack off themselves. It’s the nature of human beings. Fairness, selfishness and all that crap!
Where do your efforts,; where does the impact you have on your relationship rank currently? Some people are miles ahead of the curve in terms of their relationship being chip being stable, solidified. The litified. Most of us however rank, as you might expect “average or typical” meaning, there’s some work to be done. The narrower the margin between opposite ends of the bellcurve – The narrower the gap between sub par, typical, and exemplary – Meaning everyone within that curve is what, closer to sub-par, closer to typical, closer to exemplary? I would like to see a bell curve where the majority are closer to exemplary.
In therapy they teach a person not to buy into their partners dysfunction common neurosis, drama. Even to get out of the relationship if it’s unhealthy and unmanageable, irreconcilable. And yet, our country, the powers that be, are not only fully engaged [knee-deep lol 😆] with the dysfunctional, the neurotic, the dramatic, and I’ll throw in “psychotic”, as opposed to “not getting wrapped up in it’all”, we ourselves, in certain instances*, are to purveyors, the instigators 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏿♀️🤷♂️
*Seldom is any one person, entity… always at fault.
