Quotes:

• “Distance can seem like a very viable excuse, but in the end, for two people to bring their lives together, they are going to have to find a way to work with it.” -Lisa

• “There has to be a willingness on both sides to work together to figure it out.”

• Lisa

• “Often, people mistake the time invested with deepening emotional vulnerability.” - Benjamin

• “In a monogamous relationship, someone settles for less than what they are looking for. It’s easy to settle into a routine and not have it go anywhere. Not planning for the future, getting vulnerable, or integrating into each other’s life.”

• Lisa

• “In an anxious-avoidant dynamic, they think there is a connection when the passion and intensity is really fear and desperation.” - Lisa
