Jessica Wildfire you remain my favourite writer because of how topical the issues you raise always resonate deep with me.
I’ve always questioned why in a relationship, people tend to change and somewhat relax from being who they used to be at the beginning. Although, not such significant negative changes, I didn’t always entertain such and that always led to a break up or lack of enthusiasm at least.
Recently, I was starting to get curious at to the reasons why. I met such a good man, whom I know would never change in a way to hurt me but still had a little variation (not bad per se) with the way he behaved and from your article, I now understand that the reason why, specifically from paragraph that talks about expanding emotional IQ and adaptability being normal traits to exhibit in relationships for a stronger commitment and I’d imagine these stem from open-mindedness.
Thank you so much for this eye opener.
