A huge mistake we make in love relationships is assuming that events and behaviors mean (or should mean) the same to both partners. Behaviors and events rarely mean the same to partners, who almost invariably differ in: Temperament Metabolism Hormonal levels Core vulnerability Family history Life experiences Developmental trajectory (matured at different stages) All of the above influence the meaning we give to events and behaviors.

Emotionally unavailable people keep others at arm's length through subtle communication habits such as avoiding vulnerability and steering clear of deep conversations.

We have an innate need to attach to caregivers; however, anything beyond that initial impulse to attach must be taught.

People with higher levels of disgust sensitivity are more likely to reject potential partners for minor flaws.

If growth comes from struggle, and if relationships are where we mirror and evolve, what happens when we outsource those human moments to machines?
