As we are all separate people, individuals, what is behind the notion of having a 'relationship' or connection to someone. I'm not just talking about romantic relationships - friends, family, acquaintances... whatever definition you choose to give to what is essentially regular contact with one person.
There does appear to be an inclination to attach a label to different kinds of relationships, and unfortunately with these labels come a set of rules, for example, 'you wouldn't do that if you were my friend', or 'you should spend more time with me because you're my wife'. Just examples.
Why can't we let people come and go without forming some kind of relationship?

I've never been very good at relationships. However, my boss, a Boston Terrier named "Boss"", looked at me today as I was trying to teach him a new trick, cocked his head as to say you have got to be kidding..... Guess I named him appropriately.
