It’s not only okay not to be perfect, it’s impossible TO be perfect. And what would any of us want with perfect partners, anyway? You know what I always say, the one who plays the “saint” role in a relationship does little else than make her partner feel endlessly, permanently guilty. And what do guilty people do? Run away from those who make them feel guilty! Their departure may not always be physical, but it surely will be emotional.

It makes me feel that my bad moods, and hers, don’t signal profound trouble, that it’s okay not to be “perfect,” that relationships are between human beings, not automotons out of TV commercials. Thanks for being so clear-sighted and hard-headed.Keep the comments coming!
