Is disinterest not the essence of every human relationship?

Anonymous
About This Quote

Every relationship goes through a phase of being interested and being disinterested. Being interested means that you have a genuine interest in the other person, as opposed to being bored or merely tolerating them. Being disinterested means that you don’t care about the other person as much as you used to. This comes from a sense of detachment, not from lack of interest.
