A several months of a successful relationship between Avery and Van, they began to notice a change in their dynamic. What used to be small disagreements escalated into deeper and longer conflicts.
They both realized that the key to resolving their issues was open communication. When they couldn't agree on something as simple as what movie to watch, it became a bigger issue that caused frequent arguments.
"Avery, don't you understand how painful it is for me when you don't understand me in such a simple matter?" Van said, while engaged in an argument with his partner.
"I understand, but I hope you can also understand that I have my own perspective and what I want to watch," Avery replied.
In the following days, their misunderstandings continued to escalate. It became apparent that the issues they faced were not just about minor differences in opinion. They realized that there were deeper problems that they hadn't addressed since the beginning of their relationship.
As they tried to work through their misunderstandings, they discovered that there were emotions and needs from each other that they hadn't discussed. They realized the importance of open communication and conversation in a relationship.
On a quiet and peaceful night, they opened their hearts and minds to address each other's unique needs. They started to understand and pay proper attention to every word and emotion they shared.
During this conversation, they discovered some issues that were causing their misunderstandings. Avery learned that Van needed more care and attention from her because of his personal problems. On the other hand, Van realized that simply understanding and acknowledging the demands of his work wasn't enough and he needed to change his perspective.
Through proper conversation and support for each other, they gradually resolved their issues and their relationship became stronger. They didn't solve their problems overnight, but they proved that they were willing to face them together.
Through every challenge and hardship they went through, they learned that a successful relationship isn't just about the good times. Proper communication, empathy, and facing problems together are essential to overcoming any obstacle.
In this chapter, Avery and Van realized that love doesn't just end with accepting each other, but it also involves continuous conversation, understanding, and support.
