we don't talk nearly enough about "papercuts" in a relationship. everytime there's raised voices, cruel words, lack of support, short temper, lack of affection, etc., a tiny wound is created. not enough to make you leave, but enough to make part of you pull away and lose a little love everytime. one day those wounds create a chasm so deep its unfixable. what isn't a "big deal" to you today could be a chasm tomorrow. nurture your partner, walk with gentleness, and apologize freely. It's much easier than living with regret at the edge of a chasm.
