Like, whether it's your body, which is the only one you're going to get, or your relationship that you've signed on and committed to.
Like, wouldn't you cultivate this relationship?
It's supposed to be your most intimate, deep connection.
It's the person who's supposed to be there to see your blind spots and be with you through celebrating the good things and be with you to give you support during the hard things.
And we give it the least thought, you know?

We got the, we're married.
You're here.
You got to stay here.
We're married.
You know, that's how it works.

We want to have control.
