Some couples adore we-speak. We think camping holidays are the most fun, or We never eat bioengineered foods in our home. As we toddle through our lives, trying to share and connect, we keep running into the annoyances that come with the lovely comfort of being part of a couple. We constantly make decisions about what we expect in a relationship and what we see as our own domain. I ll play on your softball team but you have to book some games in my part of town.
All relationships have rules.
But unspoken regulations often separate the humans involved. For example, no matter how close you are to your partner, you probably prefer to have the bathroom door closed when you are doing your business. This line of demarcation preserves a sense of mystery about our most vulnerable moments. We want to keep some small part of ourselves for ourselves. This is where I start and you end.
