Not 100%

[mickeykk2007]

At what point would you say that it isn't working?

Nothing is 100%, got that
But at what point is a relationship not working
At 90%?
80%?
60%?

Where do you draw the line?

I want to get better at this
this whole relationship thing
But it's really hard

Do I just pick bad guys
Or is this really all I have to look forward to?

God, I know exactly what you're talking about. Is it a matter of lowering your expectations or lowering your standards? Not everyone is perfect, but should you have to settle on something less than that? I'm still learning, too. Wish I had advice to offer on this one...but I can say this: obviously, no one is going to be 100% perfect, but you shouldn't have to feel like you're settling for someone who doesn't make you feel perfect. Does that make sense?

It does make sense, and I think it will make more sense when I find the right person.
I am also nervous that I am expecting soo much from someone that I may be overlooking how perfect the person I am with right now is. He has put up with my shit with no hesitation, I just feel like I am too selfish because I do expect things to be perfect. I am a hypocrite in that sense: I can mess up because I mean no harm by it, but if anything small happens on their part, I get super upset. I think it's more me than anyone else, I just don't know how to change that part of me
