On Moving in Together


Again.

To Erik Erikson, a developmental psychologist in the 1900's best known for his Theory on Social Development, the answer would be obvious: NO WAY. But to the rest of us bystanders about whom his theory psychoanalyzed, making a decision that challenges the natural order of human development is not always as black and white as we'd like. A tough decision to make, perhaps, but Erikson would surely agree that this decision is a testament to the writer's success in stage one (in infancy, trust vs. mistrust), in which the world's predictability ensures his safety and security no matter what conclusion he comes to in the end. Enjoy!
