RELATIONSHIPS

AS I’VE NOW STOMPED past 30 and still find myself quite comfortably single, but ever so slightly increasingly inclined to look for a more serious partner, I find myself discussing love, relationships, and expectations regularly with friends. These musings come hand-in-hand with watching many friends engage in key parts of the cycle. Some are already transitioning into their second marriage. Others are having their long-term relationships implode either resulting in breakups or divorce, while yet others are engaged in deeply happy relationships and starting to raise their families. Oh—of course, then there are the other misfits like myself—still searching and enjoying the process.

Often the topic of finding the right fit comes up and my high expectations and selective approach to compromise is often a point of disagreement with friends. Ultimately, I’ve narrowed in on two basic questions that help clarify my needs, while better understanding how these differ (or align) with others. I think far too often we approach relationships with the assumption that they’re all somewhat standardized and that our needs are marginally different but structurally the same. Something I find to be fundamentally inaccurate and misleading.
