    it’s insane how jreg (youtuber) gave me the most solid understanding of relationships that was so obvious that I couldn’t believe we didn’t understand already, it’s a mixture of them all, it’s not a partner or a good friend group or parents, it’s to be able to have them all, a therapist can be a guiding figure a mentor and another node to release stress learn from mistakes and overall a decent person to be in contact with even if your thoughts were in control and you were in a good state of mind.

      What a pleasant surprise among the defensive takes. Thank you for sharing it.

      The most problematic situation seems to be when not having access to all of them and trying to push your partner into fulfilling all of these roles. To be your partner, parent and a friend(sometimes a therapist even). Sure it’s nice of them if they can, but it shouldn’t be their daily responsibility.
