We all know very well, relationships are an astute management of desire, ego and wishes. And its about compromises because relationships are not stagnant, they are organic, so while one problem might crop up and get sorted out, more will crop along the lifetime of a relationship and these problems can differ in their importance as well as relevance.
But how they sort out this "intimacy" issues can set the base of how they can sort out any issues that crop up further in their relationships and issues will definitely crop up.
Wow...loved what you have written about relationships. Yes, with time every relationship changes, every equation evolves and so does an individual. As you point out, relationships are never stagnant, even though they might be around for years and outwardly seem stoic and staid, they are still ever progressive. Organic...hmm...what a word to describe relationships..i bet I will always keep that in mind now when I think of human equations...the seed erupts, they take root, they grow flourish or decay too...perfect analogy.
Lets see how they go about resolving their very first issues..its the first in an endless row...this one really sets the tone, the foundation of their connection...keeping my fingers crossed!!
