Relationships of all kinds are like sand held in your hand.
Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is.
The minute you close your hand and squeeze tighty to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers.
You may hold on to some of it, but most will spilled.
A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact.
But hold too tightly, too possessively, and relationshop slips away and it lost.
