| Partners Couples Relationships |
| It's natural to seek companionship. We want to give love and we want to receive love. |
| All of us go through life — to a greater or lesser extent — unconscious. We know parts of ourselves — usually the "honorable, loveable parts". The unknown parts (positive & negative) we project onto others. It doesn't matter if the other person is the same or opposite sex. We still project onto them. |
| In an ideal world, each of us would be self-actualized — we would know the real us, we would not project onto others, we would be able to accept others as they are, we would find our perfect mate and live happily ever after. |
| If you're still living in the real world, and if you have concerns about your relationship, you might look at what exactly is bothering you, what your expectations were, etc. This is one of the areas where counseling can be especially helpful. |
