Very true. Anyone who gets close enough to matter to you is going to hurt you at some point,even if it's just by dying. I think the real question when deciding to commit or not is "does this person hurt me on purpose? Do they make an effort to avoid repeating the mistake?"

I completely agree with you. Nobody is going to be perfect 100 percent of the time. If you are expecting that....don't even try to get into a relationship. But I will say when you love someone you should accept them exactly as they are and the journey between you and your partner will be taxing at times but so worth it

True. Your partner is only human, as we all are.

I completely agree with this. It assumes people know that there are limits, but people are not perfect at all.

No she has to be perfect....

There is always a line that says "Do not cross". It's called a boundary.

Mine are non-negotiable.

Somehow this message did not get through to my significant other half.

Nothing to be wounded with, if expectations are excluded in...

'm sure that I am not the only one who has thought about the expression, 'nobody is perfect.' Oddly enough, when you ask anyone what perfection is most are at a loss to give you a definitive answer.This begs the question, if you do not not know what perfection is then why make such a statement? Of course, it is often used to excuse our own and each other's shortcomings.

Cute dogs-have shepherd myself. Relationships do involve work. Takes both parties to make commitment to work together.
