Quotes:
“A romantic relationship is not designed to meet all of our needs and the amount of intimacy and support and connection a person requires to be healthy and vibrant and fully expressed – is a group effort.” — @matchasnob [0:11:28]
“A lesson I’ve been learning is how – [to] continue really loving someone and not withdrawing from someone because our beliefs aren’t the same.” — @matchasnob [0:37:08]
“We don’t honor [friendship] the same way that we do partnership but [it] is a partnership!” — @matchasnob [0:48:07]
