When You Are Not a Priority

In most of our relationships in life, we form bonds with at least one person. Different kinds of relationships spring out of those bonds like families, friends, and romantic interests to name a few. Throughout these relationships we experience moments that may make or break our bonds with each other. Personally, these moments, however mundane they are, bear meaning to how the relationship will develop eventually or if it will cease to exist. I cannot say that I have had good relationships with people as my family life was a wreck and my romantic life is slowly crumbling to pieces.


Partners. When a couple first establishes their relationship they are called partners. The terms asserts an underlying meaning of sharing, an equal platform where each can hear out and attend to each others' needs until they decide to become more than just a couple. Naturally, there will be instances wherein each will experience hardships and will be presented with different situations where they can choose to stay in the relationship or not.

Some partners understand each other. If understanding is a vague term there is also compromise wherein one partner adjusts to meet the needs of the other and offsets it later, with the consent of the other, and vice versa. Of course, there are relationships where a partner will only look at the needs of the other partner in the surface level and neglects to see the underlying call for help of the other. This usually happens when less attention is given to the relationship and more to meeting selfish needs. if this happens, the other partner will mostly feel abandoned, left in the middle of building their relationship. This will be a hard challenge for couples who have partners who are oblivious to the cry for help of the other partner.
