Relationships are work, hard work even.
We enjoy a few that are extraordinary to be sure…but even these will take effort some days. Days when you don’t have the capacity to look beyond self, either due to feeling overwhelmed or exhausted, or possibly irritated or anxious due to a past wound or fear.
Whatever the reason, it’s difficult to hold some relationships from flying apart. Especially when so much of our communication is not face to face. We miss the 80% of communication that is non-verbal…body language, etc.
