Sometimes it’s not the what went wrong that bothers you.
What bothers you the most is that it never was right.

20/20 hindsight can make one look foolish. Personally, I was very late in identifying and respecting my deal breakers (chronic, rude lateness, chronic messiness, lack of consideration, lack of affection and kindness, absence of partnership tendencies such as sharing the cooking/cleaning workload)! When I took a healthy pause, returned to therapy and analyzed my relationship history, the issue became crystal clear. Each of my past relationships had at least two deal breakers. Duh. So I made a new, more comprehensive “list” of qualities and commonalities, and was determined to stick to it! I met the love of my life within a year and, amazingly, he had made his own list, based on past experiences and mismatches. Our list was the same, Lol. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs and good luck. XO
