Egalitarian

Alison and i have tossed around the word egalitarian as something we're looking for in our relationship (well, more precisely, egalitarianism). Actually, she's said it more than me--mostly because i haven't ever really been sure what exactly it looks like or how to define it. While cooking today, listening to Alison play happily on the floor with The Ween, i think i came up with my definition. Here goes:


An egalitarian relationship is one in which all partners are encouraged to pursue, as far as circumstances will allow, their own interests. Also, an egalitarian relationship is one in which all partners are willing to perform the less-than-desirable tasks.

Okay.

Note to self: shoot for that, especially next time it's litter box time.
