Wow! That message really struck a chord with me. I don’t make demands on my better half to make me happy, but sometimes inside I know that I have that wish. Your message really drives home the fact that this is not the purpose of a meaningful marriage/relationship - very powerfully! Thanks.

Jon,

I am trying to get to a better feeling place and know, in time, I will get there.

I posted this because Lauri shared it with me on the Absolute Crap Day post and I knew it to be true and wanted to make sure I could access it, as needed, in the future.

Thanks for seeing me as I really am, not as I see myself at times

Shephard,

Thanks for stopping by!

I grew tired of the expectations and disappointments I was projecting. So, I strive for this.

I so hear you on this point. I am not quite up to speed with you on it though, but I am catching up quickly!

I hope that by posting this, you are sharing with us that you have figured this out. I hope that you are now working to attune yourself to it. You deserve that. That and much more.

I connect very strongly with that message as well. “Expect them to be who they are” is a thought I try to keep in the back of my mind with all my relationships. I grew tired of the expectations and disappointments I was projecting. So, I strive for this.

I think it’s perfectly okay to be human and flawed as long as we just keep trying. That’s all any of us can do. But boy, this is a huge one in my life. Expect them to be who they are.

Thanks for the thought-provoking post.
