(highlight:: I just told him that it's like going to the dentist. You have to go to the dentist every six months or every year in order to maintain your teeth. Then you will notice if there are any small issues and be able to prevent them from becoming worse. If you neglect your teeth and avoid the dentist, eventually you'll have huge problems that can't be fixed anymore, and you'll need to have your teeth removed and pay a lot of money.
Relationships are the same. You need to pay attention to them and check in on things all the time, even when everything seems good. Otherwise your partner has to suffer in silence until it's too late.
The problem is that my husband doesn't go to the dentist! He is the type that will not go for years unless he feels pain and is forced to go. This is the way he deals with things and so it's the way he deals with me too.)
