One lesson I learned that changed my perspective is that some people are not compatible as lovers. No matter how attracted they are to each other, many differences of ideas cannot be reconciled. This changed my perspective in that I am now less attached to partners.
I used to have this idea of romance, and that everything can be solved through love. Now, I see that this was a very naive perspective. Many things cannot be solved through love.
Personally, I have this unhealthy tendency not to break up with a partner. In the past, I usually wait until they break up with me to end a relationship. I recognize that this is very unhealthy. I will try to remember to mention this to my talk therapist on Monday.
