Do You Cover Up A Toxic Relationship With Grand Gestures?
You worry about downtime
You worry about nights when you’ll have no distractions. If you aren’t at a concert or at a fancy dinner with a wine pairing complemented by a sommelier talking you through each dish, or on a romantic brunch date, you wonder whether or not you’ll get along. The truth is that the toxicity of this relationship is always there, waiting for its chance to pounce, and you’ve been trying to outrun it by keeping busy with over-the-top romantic dates and gestures. But if it’s just the two of you, at home, winding down after working from home and watching TV together, you sense that if you just so happen to disagree, another blowup fight could be on the horizon.
