So, long story short...
While the_designdiva was facing difficult times in my relationship
the_designdiva made the mistake of
projecting all the problems onto my mate
My Advice to You is
Spend equal time exploring your own flaws when you find yourself pointing the finger at your partner.
Here's the whole story
Several years ago I was in a relationship with a man I was certain would be my life partner. As we came against challenges I spent time shifting the blame onto him until the day it finally erupted in my ending the relationship because "I needed to be free of his limitations".
It wasn't until the next 6 mo to a year that I started to become conscious of my own character flaws -- things I wasn't owning. Things I didn't need to get in a twist about. Things I couldn't see because I was distracted by my perception of all the superficial stuff.
