I don't feel like my SO and I are connecting. We always are polite and kind to each other, but we I don't think we are passionate about each other.
None of my friends have a relationship similar to me, so it's no use talking to them. |
In-laws: My mother-in-law has been living in our home since we've been married. She is a wonderful person whom I look up to, deeply respect, and I feel fortunate she's been in my life and home.
The rest of my in-laws I could live without for the most part, and fortunately do except holidays.
My kids are great.
Money isn't an issue.
We give each other just the right amount of attention usually.
We have disagreements but have learned to make them mostly contructive and they aren't drawn out.
We feel very connected.
Stuff like that isn't the result of some magic chemistry or whatever, its the result of working at the relationship over time.
