Relationships like the seasons of our lives have many cycles and passages. Over time familiarity can breed predictability and cause thoughts and reactions to become patterns. After observing a recent arrangement between two of me friends I realized that they had been together so long that they could push each others buttons like someone playing the keyboards at a heavy-metal rock concert. For me it was easy to see if they just took a little breather from the attack and defense positions and just used some of those stress reducing partner pleasing flirty dating words from days gone past they could actually stop this banal exercise in insanity. Insanity defined in this case as ‘doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result’. I went searching for things on the topic and came across this article, I submit it here as an interesting view on the topic.
