I have gotten a lot less surprised that romantic relationships end, over the last 2 years. It feels like the default outcome a lot more than it used to. Something like, I now expect most relationships to accrue debt over time that people don't know how to pay off.

Have you read
@visakanv 's description of relationships needing "waste elimination systems"?https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1029920952258154496 …
Nice! Although I wouldn't want to use that terminology myself; think it predisposes people to thinking of e.g. bad feelings as "waste" in a way that I think is pretty counterproductive to doing the actual good thing (although I think you'd agree too).

Ah, yeah -- I have described it as "the compost of emotions" / "emotional compost". Points at a process of digestion or decomposition, but one that provides fertile ground for new experiences.

Yes! Love it, this has exactly the connotations I want. It might smell like shit but it's actually an opportunity for growth.

Could think of it as friction/heat dissipators; I don’t personally have a value judgement on any of it but feel free to go with whatever works for you

@SarahAMcManus and I have talked about "dumping entropy" in relationships—a reference to The Fall of Doc Future, which is a fantastic online scifi-fantasy novel:https://docfuture.tumblr.com/post/82363551272/fall-of-doc-future-contents … - 2 more replies
