@theschooloflife: True love isn't riddled with complications and excuses. According to the 'rule of ease,' genuine connections unfold naturally, without the need to decode mixed signals or justify absence. If you're constantly wondering where their call is, perhaps the answer is already clear. The path to meaningful relationships shouldn't feel like solving a puzzle - when it's right, it simply flows. Follow us for useful ideas every day.
This requires each person to develop emotional maturity ✨

wait so as soon as there's complexity do we just... leave?! Surely there will be complexity at some point?

Gottman’s say the opposite - they actually did the research on relationships. Some relationships start difficult and they front load the issues and work through them, making way for clarity and ease later on…honestly, I find this the ‘avoidants’ definition

Not the only path for sure. 30 years married to the love of my lifetime but took LOTS of work. It’s genuine and deep but was not easy. ❤️

Absolutely. When I met my husband 27 years ago this just happened so naturally. No games or complexity.

From someone with 33 years of a healthy, steady thriving relationship, I agree At some point things will become more conplex, but the first few years, it was easy and good

Never has any relationship developed easily for me. I always had to chase everybody I liked. I'm always jealous of people who just meet and fall in love with each other with ease.

I think this is true of life as it unfolds. Work, passions, fear. If it’s too complicated to start, run 🏃♀️

I’ve never had ease. I’m overweight (not massively so) and men start fumbling as soon as they see me. Dating has been really quite horrible for me.

What’s he’s describing is ease of relationships. And that’s very different to love in itself. Love can be pure and powerful but riddled with complexities. Plenty of ppl in relationships aren’t in love & vice versa.

I am bit torn by this because your essay “On Relationships” stresses that youre going to fall in love with the wrong person. And the rule of ease will stop feeling fluid because of the friction you feel loving the “wrong” person

I like and agree with that rule ☺️but, i do take slight issue with "meant to work". IMHO, there is no predetermination of any sort, especially when it comes to relationships 🤷♂️
