How Much Did You Give In Your Relationship?
In other articles I have mentioned how we loose something of ourselves when we choose to live or marry another. By living together and sharing each other there is by definition some compromise that we need to accept and, enjoy as part of the fusing of two people.
But how much should we accept we need to do? How much did you give in your relationship? Did you give too much? did you accept too little from your partner.
Michael Lankton of Connected Internet speaks of this in his article, “Marriage And I’s Effect On Technology And The Internet”.
It inspired me to think a little about this because of its risk of getting it wrong with the risk that you end up in a narcissistic relationship where your partner has refused to compromise any on their single lifestyle, whilst at the other end of the spectrum a person may decide to loose all connection with their previous lifestyle and risk loosing the essence of who they are and thus their own personality in the process, only to find it again when the relationship breaks down.
Whilst at one end we have the narcissist who will refuse to compromise on their lifestyle to omit another into their life, there are others who have a weak enough character that they will create a new lifestyle around their partner, loosing any essence of who they were, loosing their identity because there was little substance to it in the first place.
Do you see something here that is similar to your situation or your past? Are you clear and determined not to let it happen to you again ?
