I’m so fortunate to have a husband who is a true partner. He does all of the cooking and grocery shopping, provides for us and takes such amazing care of our needs. We split our roles well, so it is possible when each partner treats the dynamic as a true partnership

That’s awesome. Sounds like a true partnership.

There are people highly incompatible who often get together and build life. Its not children who suffer aftermath, but themselves.

It’s isn’t a question of compatibility. Couples who are complementary are more than capable of building successful relationships. However, and the point of this post is, where there is inequality there is friction. And children are absolutely affected by this. It becomes generational modeling, which I also point out.

Have you got chance to explore per example some of work by Alison Armstrong? Not pointing to something as absolute but there are reasons why things you describe happen. Normally between safe and harmonic couples these things do not make friction.

I am familiar with her work. And I think you’ll find my post reflects that.

It's not that what I think, feel, understand is the same what you think, intended or see when exposed to same information to same words or ideas. No one's lifes experience, culture, capacity is the same. What's matter is that you rised discussion and that challenges perception and awareness. So thank you for that.

Absolutely. We won’t always see the same situations the same way. And I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
