I think ppl truly underestimate how hard it is for two human beings, to do LIFE together. The amount of effort, compromise, understanding, trust, loyalty, honesty, resilience, love, care etc, etc, that it takes. You have to CHOOSE that person every single day.
aftercare in relationships in general isn’t discussed enough. if we get into a huge fight or disagreement, there needs to be aftercare. if we have some wild sex, there needs to be aftercare. if we have a series of super deep conversations, there needs to be aftercare.
