I’ve been asked whether Chapter X will deal with relationships. I thought about this for a while, considering whether I had the knowledge, experience and gravitas (yes, I said gravitas) to weigh in on such personal matters.
While taking a walk earlier today, I came upon an idea that I thought might address the question. Kind of a simple “rule of thumb” to guide those with relationship questions.
Here it is:
If you are married or in a long-term committed relationship: if you have the slightest doubt about whether to say something to your spouse, err to the side of caution and keep your mouth closed.
If you’re single: if you have the slightest doubt about whether to say something to the person you’re dating, err to the side of caution and speak your mind.
Why the divergence? Good question.
If you want to know more, email me with your request. If I get more than five inquiries, I’ll go deeper. Meanwhile, think about it…
