why is it so hard for twins to be in a functional relationship?

Also, I think it is possible to say that I both love a person unconditionally AND be disappointed in the way things go. I can get past this and still love him, cheer him on and support him unconditionally in all that he does -including another woman, if he wanted to.

A final thought: language difficulties happen in any relationship, not just TFs. You never know if the other person means the same thing as 'love' until you try it.

Yes. Well, I did try to answer your question. Put another way a REAL twin flame relationship is different from an ordinary relationship - don't think there'd be too much disagreement there and I suggested a reason.

My big assumption was what constituted a "functional" relationship - perhaps I overstepped the mark there. I took it to be basically a couple who live together (or exist together) contentedly, rarely if ever quarrel (in the sense described in one of the psalms - any discontent tonight is brushed away by the morning, sort of thing) have their established roles, share their burdens and domestic chores - who walk arm in arm in the street, seen as "an item". People who no longer have to keep using the word "love" though they may affirm it from time to time but are sure and confident in each other.

So in response to your response, why indeed should being real twins be any harder than that? All that seems to come to mind is the disparity on a spiritual level, uncertainties, etc.
Edit: And the fact that many are actually apart more time than they're together (beyond their occupational lives) which, to me, doens't constitute a functional relationship, at least in the sense I see it.
