I'm curious your thoughts on that too.
Yeah. There's another trend, but you said one that's really troubling me. I don't know if this is troubling me, but I do think it's worth the conversation, which is that, you know, cause you brought up this idea of community, right? And Never before in modern relationships, like this idea of a soulmate, that's very new. You know, it's new and like this idea of romanticism.

before I get into that, one thing that I want to say about conflict is that, you know, when we, conflict has such a big umbrella, right? And so you don't want to be in constant conflict with your partner.

And if you never have any conflict, then my, My curiosity is peaked in so far as I'm wondering how much the two of you are actually involved in each other's lives, or are you living separate lives?
