''Some of you will romanticize doing face masks together or you’ll romanticize coffee in the morning after a night of love making but no one talks about how quickly that stops being important. No one romanticizes true care and compassion. Does your partner give you the space to discuss your feelings without making you feel like your emotions are irrational? Do they interrupt you in front of others? Do they talk over you? Do they give you the space to work through things on your own if need be? Do they offer you solitude without guilting you for ‘abandoning’ them? Does your partner share responsibilities with you? Do they notice the tasks that are too much and offer to take over? Do they ask you what you need when you’re overwhelmed? Did they take the time to learn what overwhelms you? Do they know where you keep your medicine? Did they check to see if you’re keeping up with your hygiene? Does your health matter to them? Raise the bar. You’re all so much more deserving.''
