This really makes sense and helps during these very conflicted and confusing times. I have experienced a lot of loss, including estrangement, so don’t tend to take connection lightly. I have been challenged with several relationships where ideas and what feels like values no longer align. Thank you for this perspective!

I really needed to hear this today. I feel I'm very much in the gray with my partner. He's trying his best to love and rebuild trust but struggles with resentment towards his affair partner for walking away and drinks heavily to cope. I'm trying to set boundaries and determine what my next steps are. This was a nice hopeful reminder.

I hear you. I can definitely relate to that moment when ideas and values don't align anymore. It can be tough to discern: What is my bare minimum for what I require in relationships? If I don't get this need met here, can I still stay connected and get it met elsewhere? Etc. etc.
