I think this piece perfectly put into words what many people have not been able to quite put their finger on! I also think this piece provided very useful and sound guidance on how life partnership looks - continued commitment to growth and not only being there to lean on a partner in difficult times but to also be prepared to be leant on in difficult seasons too ✨. Thank you for this, one of my favourite reads to date.

Thank you for this tread! I resonate with this lady and what you have shared herewith this tread. Personally, though I was never married (though he proposed X3 times) , the partner I had I knew from early on we were never to be married, I also knew I was going to have his children. There was something missing greater than the love he gave. Intellectual, we were different, he was way better in social IQ than I am, we were different in value for independence or personal time and or growth. Whereas it took ultimatums; him d/w or compare/compete with his friends, and lack of transparency, integrity, accountability, courtesy inevitably lead to the demise of a 13 year old relationship.

Wow, your story sounds very emotionally charged. It's crazy how compatibility works—some parts of us can click, and others couldn't be any more opposed. Ultimately, it sounds like you made the right decision for yourself (and your family) and came out stronger because of it. Appreciate you sharing this.
