i never vowed to be that couple, but
when you've lost connection with a loved one, asking better questions
I vowed to never be that couple I noticed at restaurants- sitting side by side or across from each other, in silence that filled the air with tension and distance, not the comforting kind of silence that’s built over trust and care. But, here we were- or to be more exact- here we are. Running out of things to say other than “what do you want to eat for dinner?”
I was talking to a girlfriend about this, just how exhausted I get by the end of the day after pouring into my job and other people leaving me empty- for the person who matters the most. How I also hate that it’s this way- others first, family second.
Maybe you can relate.
So, how then do we connect and stay engaged with our partners or close friends especially when life is demanding?
