MYTH #8: A GREAT RELATIONSHIP CANNOT SURVIVE A FLAWED PARTNER - Dr. Phil McGraw
Nobody's perfect. As long as your partner's quirks are
non-abusive and non-destructive, you can learn to live with them.
Instead of focusing on your partner's shortcomings, remember
the qualities that attracted you in the first place. Perhaps some of these
idiosyncrasies were part of the attraction? Just because a behavior isn't
mainstream, doesn't mean that it's toxic to the relationship.
Be careful to distinguish the difference between a partner
with quirks and one with a serious problem. Serious problems that are
destructive and abusive include substance abuse and mental/physical abuse.
Unlike idiosyncrasies, these are not behaviors you should learn to live with.
Have a great day!
