However, it doesn't make good sense to me that we would want to spend much time with someone who struggles with what we already know. That spells great frustration to me, logically. Unless we are co-dependency-oriented.

I can see how it would bring people together, but in a long-term situation this would be very frustrating.

I would surmise that both would very quickly feel held back. As the growth in the relationship would be determined by the willingness and pace of the slowest-growing party.

And, if we have two people who are willing to grow and do so at a relatively equal pace,
don't we have two people who are growing in opposite directions?

So, this association will only last until one or both realises their NN, no?
