Frequently Asked Questions
Why does being in a relationship feel like "work" lately?
It feels like work because of "relational load"—the implicit expectations to perform, update, and respond. The Meaning Density Model™ suggests lowering this load by intentionally removing these expectations. When you decide that "being together" requires no specific output, you close the Status & Control loops that demand "improvement." This allows the relationship to return to a baseline of simple, structural safety, where presence is restorative rather than draining.
How do I remove implicit expectations?
You name them and set them aside. By explicitly acknowledging that no response, action, or emotional "peak" is required, you give the nervous system permission to settle. This "low-load" state allows the Narrative & Identity system to stop defending itself against the pressure of "not being enough." Meaning then returns not through effort, but as a byproduct of the relief and coherence found in a truly non-demanding space.
