If it’s a Newtonian world then …
All the ideas and thoughts I have about my partner that are less than positive have an equal and opposite reaction on her side, right? Opposite and equal being the twist/key. I cringe at her over drinking so she cringes at my not over drinking. She sleeps late. I’m not a night owl. It frustrates me equal to what she may think of me — How could you sleep so late? How can you fall asleep so early? You want sex so often? How can you want it so infrequently? On and on it goes. So, therefore it’s obvious, like gravity, the game isn’t fault finding or irritation solving, or fixing. Somehow, once I think my issues involve an opposite but equal reaction I understand, damn, it’s possible we’re both unhappy with the other equally. More importantly though. It’s not just me. There are two-sides (if not more) to everything.
