Duchess said:Over the years, the place where I've encountered the biggest problem with "perfectionism" has been within my intimate relationships. The need for them (the relationship, not the man) to be perfect sent me on journey in to every relationship self-help theory or practice known to man. I "knew" everything about what it takes to make a relationship work.
I can relate - but mine is slightly different. I can accept imperfection in others, but I cannot accept it from myself. This puts me in a state where I am always making up for being who I am... so self-acceptance is a really important thing for me to learn. And once I learn self-acceptance, then I'll be even closer to perfection! :mrgreen:
