Relationships are sometimes hard to figure. They ebb and flow like the ocean tides. They are always changing. Status quo is possible for some length of time but not forever. Even couples who are together for a long time still each have unique dreams and goals. The individual growth in all us manifests itself at different speeds and at different times. Hopefully, as we grow older and wiser we are all trying to touch more and more people around us in a positive way. To me it gives life meaning and substance.

Change in inevitable.

That is not to say that change is easy especially if you are happy with the status quo. If you want to keep your relationship moving forward in a positive direction free your mate and let them be. You and your significant other will be better because of it.
