To succeed in a relationship, we need to know ourselves, what drives us, and identify the cause of the changes we undergo.
The fundamental force that drives us is the ego, the desire to enjoy. It is a basic natural aspiration to always feel good. What differentiates between different people is the type of desire that arises, what we want to enjoy at every moment, and also the desire’s intensity.
We humans differ from other creatures in nature in our ability to invent more and more sources of pleasure, and we are thus in constant development. our ego develops, and accordingly we seek ways to satisfy it anew each time. This is how we progress in life.
Over time, our desires change, become replaced, and expressed differently. Since my definition of “what I want” changes, and similar changes occur in our partners, a compatibility problem gradually develops. Life shows us that this is the source of problems that arise between partners. One wants to develop in one direction, and the other thinks in another. Each develops a desire for something different.
What can we do in such situations?
In the life we share, we should separate between two areas: one, where we can connect, complement each other, and be as one, and two, all other matters in which we each develop individually, as we wish.
