We are taught at a young age that love is the stuff fairy tales are made up of. It's a grave disservice, for when the challenges begin the response is "it's not supposed to be like this". Yet, as you point out, the truth is relationships are made up of many emotions and experiences. Learning to navigate the ebbs and flow is where the growth is.

Short version - been there, done that. It truly is when we focus on our own happiness and stop focusing on the other person, that we become happier and the problems can be resolved or they melt away. I read this last night, and was thinking about it again this morning. I don't know about you, but I think for me it's sometimes that Perfection thing you were talking about earlier. The relationship needs to be a certain way or it isn't perfect. Or, I think subconsciously I'm thinking, if we are having problems, or I'm not happy, then it isn't perfect. If I don't feel happy, it isn't perfect, and that's a problem. When in reality, growth in a relationship requires some pain, some lessons, some "mistakes" perhaps, to move forward and grow. So I have had to sometimes recognize that it's ok for it to not be "perfect" all the time. :) Great sharing Margie. Short version – been there, done that.
