You've been creative.

You've been flexible.

You've been supportive.

now it's starting to take away from you.

And when someone else's passion, even a partner's is starting to take away from you and your life, that's not what a partnership is.

A partnership is

two holes coming together.

I know everyone says, oh, you're my other half.

You make me whole.

That's sweet.

And that's lovey-dovey cool.

But when we get literal about it, you need to each be your complete whole person and you come together and it's even stronger, but you're a 200% when you're together.

You're not a 100%.

That's perfect.

And

Yes, that ebbs and flows.

I mean, it's not always perfect, but that is kind of, that should be the standard that you hold to and that you should shoot for.

When it's taking you away, I mean, right now it feels like you're less than even 100% because it's taking away from you.

And when that's the case, that's when it's going to create an unhealthy dynamic and you can't be a supporter to your partner in that sense for the long haul.

It's just not going to work.
