When someone enters a relationship with the intentions of changing the other person, the relationship ultimately fails. The nature of a relationship is based on compatibility. If one enters a relationship in which he/she feels the need to change the other person to suit their fantasy, the relationship crumbles.
How to overcome your "fixer" status...
- Respect the other's flaws
- Don't expect a perfect partner
- Develop better communication
- Accept that others are responsible for their own actions; don't feel others' guilt
- Take the focus off of other people and take time to get to know yourself better and to work on your own flaws
This is great advice. I wish everyone thought this way.
