In a Relationship

What a new found economic freedom and emotional security can do to a perfectly healthy relationship? Nothing much except that it takes away the flab out of the body, the flesh out of the bone ,making it bare and naked, staring at you with a sense of practicality and ruthlessness. It takes away the junk from the metal that has piled on over the years, so what lies is a pithy substance that reflects the basic premise of a relationship. The superficiality of emotional exchange and overt overtures become insufficient to fill up the vacuum created by emotional starvation. It earmarks one's area of indulgence and delineates the transgression into others personal boundary. So the lines of comfort and compatibility become prominently underlined. The freshness of the  moments shared ,that made the journey so memorable and enjoyable till the recent past.,stinks with a smell of indifference.

                                This calls for a scrutiny of personal space and extent of sharing between two lives. The sooner one accepts the brutality and brazenness of reality, the easier it would be for one to adapt to the changed profile of the relationship. But the urgency and extent of the changed order really tests your adaptability to the new found circumstances. How one comes out of it in a matured and positive state of mind depends upon his character, integrity and the sanctity of thought process.

                                In between somewhere, there is an undercurrent of expectations from a relationship that acts like a catalyst in this entire psychological and emotional gameplay.Expectations never come to the front and exerts its influence in changing the shape of the relationship, but actually manifest itself into more identifiable forms which measure the intimacy, dependency and mutual understanding between two individuals.In a relationship, we are always part of a whole, as far as the bonding goes while we feel as whole of the part when our individuality gains prominence. To strike a balance between these two extremes is pivotal to a thriving relationship.
