In fact, there is only meaning in a long-term relationship when the person who is next to you becomes a genuine parent. You know all his intonations, you feel the mood, you know all the secrets of character, and in the end you know how to reconcile and what to expect from him. All its weaknesses and shortcomings cause a smile and some warmth in the shower. And you can tolerantly say to him “envious hysteria,” “leave the steam off,” “what did you do this time?” You stop trying to make an impression, and you become yourself, knowing that they love not your image, but you. And it is easy. You are not playing. You live next to him. The most important thing is that nothing happens to him. Permanent relationships are serious, responsible, difficult, but they are worth it because they have a future. Everything else makes no sense.
