How To Be A Good Companion: 005 Recommendation.

This write-up is dedicated to Marvey, the awesome person who took the time to ask the question we'll address here.
What if I can’t meet up to my companion’s standards?
Introduction:
Now, this is a serious question. Earlier, in a post last week Monday, I mentioned that since we get to grow up differently, no two persons end up having absolutely the same personalities. And so, each of us is entitled to having unique and personal variations. Nonetheless, it was established that we should try to make life easier for ourselves by endeavouring to improve and learn where necessary, especially when it's required in a companionship. Then, Marvey asked, 'What if I can't meet up to my companion's standards?'

The Talk:

The truth is, some people might have some innocuously high standards which they might have grown up with; hence, it can be understandably difficult to act otherwise. For instance, my mother is normally obsessed with a very exhausting manner of hygiene, so much that it seemed like torture for anyone to wash anything for her. When we do the dishes, we make sure the plates are perfectly clean, we wash the sink with a sponge, we then dry it properly with a napkin so that it looks like no one used it of recent. Still, she would usually complain about some unimaginable flaws. You could not possibly sweep the carpet to my mom’s taste. Sharing a room with my mom was a lifetime training for my dad who likes to enjoy the kind of liberty you are thinking of. But, it's purely unintentional. So imagine.

In the most recent ‘A Letter To Alice’ short story series I posted last week Friday, Alice says that ‘Companions are to share both their distress and their delights.’ This implies here that if a person is meant to be your companion, you’ll both have to share the fun and inevitable stress of being together –like my parents.
However, if it appears to be a tougher circumstance, an excerpt from next week's post is going to point out something notable and helpful: ‘Companionship is about sacrifice, too. It’s about paying a fair cost to manage your relationships.’ If it would cost your companion the price of allowing you to have your liberty, since you 'can’t' meet up to their high standards, then it’s their price to pay. Yes, it is their price to pay.
Conclusion:
If they are meant for you, they should value you enough to pay a price. Remember, that we are talking about a situation where you evidently ‘can’t’ meet up… Thanks for reading through, and thanks Marvey.
