This is great. I know I/we could've used a menu at the outset. And while we found our way there because of solid communication, this post really thoughtfully illustrates that different relationships require different pieces of a menu to find success in this world.
Thank you! I love hearing that communication helped guide you there—so much of this journey is about learning as we go. And yes, exactly—every relationship needs its own mix of agreements to feel supportive and aligned. There’s no one-size-fits-all, which is both the beauty and the challenge of it all. I’m so glad this resonated!
Definitely resonated! You make a super important point here - there is decidedly not a one-size-fits-all approach, and what your partner needs to navigate this world effectively might not be what you need. I think it's really important for folks to recognize that we don't all process or learn at the same speed. Having the menu as a gameplan for figuring out how to navigate is so super critical because while you may be attempting to lay parallel tracks, it's not always a straight line figuring it out.
