The (dis)comfort of stability in relationships
Many of us associate the idea of a relationship — if not love — with stability. Perhaps, rightly so.
I remember pausing for a while when a friend, I have known all my growing up years, asked without a warning, “So, why are you two together?” It was a simple question, naive even. Uttered in a languid afternoon we had chosen to spend together, this was a conversation filler. The obvious answer would be: love. But here I was, evidently thrown off by a query that made no effort to blunt its edges. She prodded further about my year-old relationship. “It gives me a sense of stability,” I replied, clearing my throat. Leaving it at that, she went to tell me about the new Zumba class she had enrolled in. I am assuming the answer was satisfactory.
