The price of not being alone

Content on relationship power dynamics between men and women is plentiful on YouTube. What to do and not to do is laid out in great detail by numerous creators who purport to know the answer to the riddle of what each sex wants in an era when pairings are at their most fragile. 

This is easily the most complex thing a person can enter into particularly today when people are on tender hooks looking for the first sign that they can parachute out. 

By the time we are over 5 years into any couple scenario we have built a communication style and flow based on the temperaments and the character of each person plus the flaws of each are clearly on the table. We learn to accommodate and adjust based on recognized patterns some which help and others make life more difficult. It comes with the price of not being alone. 

In my early 60's I understand all too well the stakes involved and the fundamental drivers of people, but I would be no better guaranteed a successful outcome if I ignored signs I now recognize much earlier on. 

I wish that I could think of an ideal model that I could point to people as inspiration of what to shoot for. But, alas, I know not of any.

I just know of humans doing their best.
