Little or big things

Jacques is great with the big things in a relationship.

The proposal and wedding were fantastic.

He organized them all by himself to a tee and anything else that could be a spectacle he excels at.

But he has a terrible grasp of his emotions.

Wild mood swings and lashing out makes him awful to be around.

Bernie on the other hand wouldn’t have the foggiest when it comes to flower arrangements or even think of having a photographer present for his proposal.

But he excels at both his emotional management and the support of his partner’s.

He is so in tune with them that he can tell just by the tone of their voice what kind of day they had and what they need.

Which begs the question for me, what is better for a relationship?

Being good at the small things or the big things?
