discuss Keeping relationships alive.

[Dr. A]

I would be caught to be on the backfoot in most of my relationships, in that I am too lazy to initiate a conversation or call a person. I generally, prefer to reply, in which most of the time it appears as if I am not much interested in the relationship, however, its not always the case. Are you the one who keeps relationships alive?

 

[Shortie]

I wouldn't say that I always keep relationships alive, but I have, on the odd occasion, found that I have had to make the first move to stay in contact and keep a relationship with a loved one or friend alive.

I don't mind keeping the relationship with someone alive, but if I feel I am doing that more often, I will stop bothering, as that is when I feel they just do not have any interest.

To maintain a relationship and make it work, it requires efforts from both parties. If it's only one person that is initiating a conversation, then such a relationship is not balanced and it will probably not last.

I am married with kids, I am happily married. I do not have to do anything great to keep the relationship alive, even a small act of kindness or gratitude will work. For instance, cooking together, eating together, bring tea to bed, soft pat, tight hug...The list can go long if I try to list everything I do.

I am a very busy person and I might find those constant calls and chats from my partner as a disturbance. I sometimes ignore those calls. I have lost relationships because of that attitude. I always lack energy to keep relationships alive.

Do you really have to use effort to keep relationships alive? Some might say relationships naturally thrive with time and connection, while others believe that intentional effort is key to maintaining strong bonds.
