WHEN WE'RE INCOMPLETE,WE'RE ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR SOMEBODY TO COMPLETE US
“When we're incomplete, we're always searching for
somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a
relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and
take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series
polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our
lives, we, each of us,
are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can
provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously
and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”
