Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my relationship feel like a "to-do list"?
This happens when the Status & Control system takes over the relationship, turning connection into a series of tasks: "date night," "checking in," "improving communication." In this model, we "de-task" the relationship by removing these implicit requirements. A relationship isn't a project to be finished; it is a structural state to be lived. By stopping the "task-based" approach, you allow the "pursuit loop" to end, which is the only way for the "settlement" of genuine companionship to begin.
How do I stop "tasking" my relationship?
You focus on "unstructured presence." Spend time together with no goal, no "talk," and no "plan." This allows the nervous system to move from "doing" to "being." By removing the "evaluation loop" (asking "how are we doing?"), you give the relationship permission to be "flat" or "quiet." This reduction in pressure is what actually restores meaning density, as the connection becomes a "place of rest" rather than another arena for "pursuit and performance."
