A great way to set up your relationship for failure - or at the very least, a very rocky ride, is to expect the other person to be your everything: best friend, confidant, lover, nursemaid, cheerleader, mommy and daddy.
It won’t work. You can’t be all of those things to someone and someone can’t be all of those things to you.
That’s why we have friends, we have the friend who listens really well, we have the friend who is really nurturing, and on and on. As for your significant other, pay attention at the one or two things they do really well and don’t expect them to be all the things that it would take 10 people to be.
It isn’t fair. It isn’t productive.
It isn’t fair. It isn’t productive.
