Impossible Expectations
2004-12-30, 9:13 p.m.
At what point do you take your list of "perfect relationship material" and alter it to fit your current relationship? Everyone says that relationships take work, and compromises. I'm not sure I buy into the second part of that statement. If you don't alter the list to begin with wouldn't it make sense that you will get exactly what you are looking for; and therefore the need to compromise no longer exists?
Do we compromise because we believe we will never find the perfectly compatible partner that mirrors the list of impossible expectations? Is the list nothing more than a shield to protect our selves from broken hearts, promises and dreams? Do we throw the list out the door when our biological clock starts winding down?
Am I the only one who has this mysterious list in the first place?
