Have you recently been feeling uneasy around your partner, vice versa, or do you feel some tension brewing up in your relationship? If so, then you need to take a step back, view your relationship from a third person’s point of view, and you will see the bigger picture.The book Man and His Symbols by Carl Jung explains how fluid and fragile human relationships are and how our society’s disregard for various “ideas of being” makes things even more complicated.
