“It's easy to have a relationship and show each other only the beautiful shiny things. Sharing good parts about you is elementary, so finding a partner in life can't be only about showcasing these agreeable characteristics, but also the less impressive ones.

When I reached that crossroad, I felt like such a failure. After years of therapy together, I realized that staying together was emotionally destructive.
