We stop trying to understand
Another thing that comes up when you live with someone and spend lots of time with them is that you get tired of really listening and relating. Hey, let’s be honest, listening – I mean real listening – is hard work. It’s part of the hard work that pays off in a meaningful connection. But it is hard work. And sometimes, we get tired. We stop really trying to sympathize with our partners and feel their feelings. We just nod and say, “Oh. Nice” or “Uh-huh.” We get the credit of technically listening, but we aren’t participating in the conversation.
