Many romantic relationships don’t last long because we write the script of how we expect our partners to be.
We expect them to be perfect.
Most of the new partners we meet pretend to fit the bill but show their true colours later on. when the relationship gains the momentum.
A promising relationship is one based on a solid and honest foundation.
We should never expect our partners to be perfect because we aren’t perfect ourselves.
A couple is made up of two imperfect individuals who commit themselves to building a better relationship together.
Pretending to be what you are not only to please your partner is not good at all.
When you eventually decide to be yourself later on, your partner may not like that.
We need to admit to ourselves that we are as imperfect as the partners we are seeking.
