The experience I shared above happened a few years ago, in my early twenties. Now being in my early thirties and the relationship I currently have with my partner - I took everything I learned throughout my life and applied the principle of "walking together - strengthening ourselves and one another". I will be sharing in my next post how I, in my current relationship, ensured (as much as possible!) my emotions and feelings are not projected towards my partner nor any person - but first introspect and understand by mental responses. To communicate and share always so that I, as well as others, know where I stand with me and them - this and so much more to come of practical guidelines to ensure a walking together as partners instead of internalizing, isolating and separating oneself not only from one's partner: but also yourself. Thanks for sharing :)
