What great insights you have Tanja and a reminder that in all relationships we need to be on our toes and take nothing for granted. Thanks also for the pointer to your series on 7 Rules for A Healthy Relationship. I really liked the first one and now must find the others. I think that it may be worthwhile writing as a single consolidated post, with the 7 Rules together and then some further reflections now that time has passed since you did these posts.
I don't have any idea about social media, and so have realized that it is a minefield because you can tell when people look at something and then not respond. Communication is becoming increasingly fraught. I remember not long after email became available a boss of mine saying 2 important things: 1) Don't write anything in an email that you would not be comfortable with seeing on the front page of the paper, and 2) If you receive an angry email, don't email back but pick up the phone.

You boss was a smart man, Reuben.
I will think about consolidating the 7 Rules series into one post, I like the idea. Thank you!
