I remember this was a plot in How I Met Your Mother. One said I and one said we. It became much of the issue.

Never seen it. But I can see why they wrote it that way. It is an issue for many, it seems.

First off this post really added the extra adoration towards you. The way you use words keeps things interesting and seem extremely thought out. I really love that so much.

Now onto the post itself. I had some thoughts on the "we" and "I" before. Especially with the "home."

My relationship I was always the first one to add "us." Which is also extremely lonely when the partner takes so long to do so. The same with when they never use "home" with you included. Even when they live with you. (Maybe too much self projection here).

The loneliness of being the first and then the loneliness of being caught up in the same "circuit" of rhythm are both hand-in-hand I think. They both seem to make you lose a sense of belonging. Or at least it was like that for me.

Getting caught up in the rhythm of the relationship and day-to-day tasks then makes you wonder if your just another attachment in their life or if they see you for you, too.

Perhaps this is pretty jumbled, my words aren't very well articulated. This just hit something deep in me that's a bit hard to let go.
