One of my more controversial views is that it’s okay to be in a dysfunctional or mildly harmful relationship. In a vacuum of course, it’s worse than the counterfactual of being in a healthy one. But there are dynamics that are unsatisfying/tough that are often embedded in an otherwise good thing

Timely and applicable, thanks for the reminder.

agree 100% like obviously its contextual but i think if there's the prospect of stuff ultimately improving i've got a lot of tolerance for putting up with failures

No relationship is perfectly healthy. I think maintaining equanimity and knowing what your boundaries are, and getting constant reality checks from people you trust are all the important things
