Having Unrealistic Expectations of Our Partner

We wouldn’t attempt to fly a plane without lessons, expect a three-years old to drive a car, or to perform brain surgery on ourselves.

Why should we have unrealistic expectations of our partners, when most of us have poor communication skills, lack authentic freedom in sexual expression, have histories of poor relationships, come from dysfunctional families and lack any semblance of competent relationship skills. All relationships are about us, not the other person.

Relationships reflect a journey of speed bumps, hairpin turns, inclines with declines, sudden slow downs, but never stop signs. You will never get to your destination, if you stop short of the goal line.

How would you ever know what it could feel like to win an Olympic gold metal, if you stop training before the competition?
