We don&#8217;t always think change is good but we can be pleasantly surprised.\u00a0 In a recent reading, <a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?page_id=3378\">Domino<\/a> lamented there&#8217;s no passion in her relationship.\u00a0 She loves her husband of three years, but they don&#8217;t share the same interests and seem to be roommates more than anything.\u00a0 They don&#8217;t fight and, while they do laugh together, each does their own thing, has their own job and keeps to themselves after work, he in his workshop and she in the den.\u00a0 Neither is particularly interested in what the other is involved with.\u00a0 There is no physical or emotional intimacy, they don&#8217;t even share meals.\u00a0 She doesn&#8217;t want a divorce and she doesn&#8217;t want to date or seek a new man, but she misses having an intense interest in &#8212; anything.\u00a0 Oh, she has her hobbies, she crafts and paints, but she hasn&#8217;t even felt like creating art the past year.\u00a0 She feels if he showed an interest in her work, she&#8217;d be more encouraged and feel he was a part of it.\u00a0 But she shows little interest in his work and when she does, he&#8217;s not into discussing it.\u00a0 She doesn&#8217;t feel she has any friends.\u00a0 She&#8217;s not a computer person, so she doesn&#8217;t do Facebook or belong to any forums that might help her feel supported.\u00a0 <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>They already live separate lives, interacting only occasionally. I see no need for her to move unless it brings her down him being there.\u00a0 He does pay most of the bills and they are comfortable with each other.\u00a0 But staying where you don&#8217;t want to be does a disservice to everyone.\u00a0 Be where you are happy.\u00a0 If that means displacing a partner, so be it.\u00a0 Have the talk as soon as possible and free them up to find someone they deserve to be happy with.<\/p>\n<p>One problem in a relationship is when one person wants it to be defined and the other doesn&#8217;t want to fit into a job description.\u00a0 I completely understand that. I&#8217;m not one for commitment because I know intentions change.\u00a0 Relationships, having to answer to anyone, used to be an effort to me. My intention now is to be happy in every moment, so I&#8217;ve learned to make decisions with that goal in mind.\u00a0 My mind is subject to change upon evolution of consciousness.\u00a0 This doesn&#8217;t mean I don&#8217;t figure my partner into any equation, it means I keep him posted if and when intentions change.\u00a0 That way, even if we&#8217;re not on the same page, we each know what is in the other&#8217;s mind. I&#8217;m lucky in that my partner and I share many interests, while each doing what we want to do.\u00a0 Our lives mesh well, without compromise or sacrifice. Not everyone is that lucky.<\/p>\n<p><span data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}\" data-reactid=\".2v.1:3:1:$comment10152763791484723_10152763832549723:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body\"><span class=\"UFICommentBody\" data-reactid=\".2v.1:3:1:$comment10152763791484723_10152763832549723:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body.0\"><span data-reactid=\".2v.1:3:1:$comment10152763791484723_10152763832549723:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1:$comment-body.0.$end:0:$0:0\"><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/woman-looking-thru-telescope.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-38542\" src=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/woman-looking-thru-telescope-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"a woman looking through a telescope at a clock dial\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>It&#8217;s clear that what Domino needs to do is discover and choose a pleasing and compelling point of focus.\u00a0 When she does that, all else will fall into place.\u00a0 She&#8217;ll be focused on exactly what she wants to do, without having to figure anyone else into the equation.\u00a0 If her husband, or anyone, wants to be involved in what she&#8217;s doing, she can make new decisions at any time.\u00a0 She can choose to seek what it is that creates that feeling of passion within her.\u00a0 She can choose to make it a new goal, a quest if you will, a mission to find what pleases her and what stirs her heart to passion.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t know where you&#8217;ll be happy?
