Only seeing each other once a week or less. Absences makes the heart grow stronger.

If you both try each day to make the other happy and little or big ways, you will usually be very happy together

give and take - understanding, even if you re not so well yourself,, - enjoying the companionship doing things together which you both want to do - freedom & appreciation. My partner and i don't hang around together all the time he has a separate flat upstairs to me - we do stuff for each other if i am better at ironing shirts he is better at money stuff ; we don't get in each others space or do couply things - probably wouldn't work for everyone but we met when we were in our forties and just recognised each other as oddballs and got on.

Those involved in it , or not .
