This blog post is not just a restaurant review, although the restaurant whose name is the title of this blog post is certainly worthy of one. My girlfriend and I went to eat there twice when we were in Penarth recently, and we can highly recommend it. The spaghetti with prawns and asparagus was particularly delicious.
No, the main point of the post was to muse on the nature of pressures on relationships; things that can cause them to fail. Our relationship is subject to a lot of external pressures: we're not in a financial situation to live together at the moment (and so can only see each other very occasionally - this was the first time for five months), we both have health issues - I have spoken about my epilepsy and depression already - and neither of us has any clear idea of our future lives.
But our relationship has a great deal of internal strength. We've been together for 2½ years now, and although all the stuff I mentioned in the previous paragraph is straining our relationship, the times when we're together are so much happier than the times when we aren't. So we're carrying on making it work together as best we can.
