As we grow we naturally want more or different things. A toddler needs certain things but as you grow your needs change and naturally you want to let go and go out into the world to get it. A toddler my have a hard time imagining living on its own. A teenager may dream of leaving while letting go some and a full grown offspring is likely to go off into there own space. It's just to say T helps us to grow and expanding our lives is a natural result of that.

Also I'd read on here and hear T talk about natural endings of our relationship when we both agree with it. I'd think yeah like NEVER. but very recently I can see how I went to him for certain things and now I've grown a lot and am eyeing giving those things to myself and looking out into my personal life to get more things.Like earthmamma said "when you feel different you will know the answer" for yourself too.
