How Peaceful Relationships Can Ruin Your Life
In other words, how to properly fight with your partner.
We all think that peaceful relationships are long-lasting. Right?
No!
Until a year ago I was also in a peaceful relationship.
We met during my internship and he was the most understanding person I have ever met in my life(or so I thought.)
He was extremely resourceful, had answers to every question in my life, and solved seemingly difficult materialistic issues with surprising tricks.
His behavior made me feel secure and my friends thought we would move out of the country, get married, and will have a meaningful life.
But something wasn’t right.
Difficult conversations
Yes! He didn’t like to have difficult conversations about life. The future goals terrified him, and he hated anything that disturbed the serene status quo that we had. So we never talked about difficult topics, such as mental health, religion, politics, or even a proper life goal.
Little did I know this status quo was a mirage.
After 3 years, this mirage suddenly collapsed in a single day.
