I love this! I am learning SO much about intimate dynamics of long term relationship in my present growth spurt of life. Years into partnership and I continue to discover myself, and deepen layers of vulnerability. The stories in my stories feel layered and maze like at times, and regardless of "what" my sweetheart and I are navigating in moments of challenge, the truth of whats unraveling has little to do with the story that opened the doorway to our wounds, and more to do with the stories that have been living in our unmet needs. My current of learning is devoted to WHOLENESS, and that seems to require traveling INTO the various spaces of feeling fractured, fractaled and separate with the willingness to incrementally integrate myself. Uncomfortable, challenging, beautiful, revealing. And having a human to trust as a participant in this process is priceless. Fully agree - kids witnessing humans being humans is deeply necessary for their own understanding of our complex journey here on Earth.

Yes, it's a complex journey we're on, with many layers. I like this phrase: the willingness to incrementally integrate myself.
I find incremental is key to growth. Thank you, Rhiannon.
