Maturing in order to be a better person and partner? It takes so long, it’s annoying because you have to face your own shortcomings, it’s arduous because it doesn’t come naturally to you, it’s hurtful because you have to accept you have been fucking up for ages and God knows who else has suffered because of this trait… but it’s worth it, because your better half requires it.

Came here to write exactly this. Thank you! <3 Another neat feature of this “gesture” (many-year effort, actually) is that you can’t just buy it like a bunch of flowers or a fancy holiday. It actually takes time & commitment.
