you can truly grasp someone’s capacity for emotional rigor when they are faced with the task of being around their partner intimately, while they’re upset
it’s very easy to sleep in bed with each other, decide on what to eat for dinner, cook dinner, say you love each other, check in on each other throughout the day, and just be in one another’s presence when there is immediate happiness amongst the both of you… what about when there is slight conflict between you, though?
when you have minor, annoying, petty conflicts that put you both in agitated moods are you still capable of doing these things? you don’t have to be happy about everything, it’s okay to be irritated and testy but it says a lot when you are unable to do something as simple as sleeping together because you’ve got a little attitude… it says a lot when you can only behave lovingly with your partner when you are happy with them
