“Until death do us apart.” We love the sound of it. It signifies a lifelong commitment to someone, a promise meant to last until our final breath. It’s comforting to believe we can find someone to love forever, especially when we’re taught that love is the most powerful emotion of all. Love is supposed to
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been searching for a certain kind of relationship, one where I’m heard, where I don’t disappear behind someone else’s needs, where my presence feels meaningful.
