When I gave up trying to change him, he became much happier. He also liked me a bit more.
So would you say that what you were trying to change could've been easily overlooked instead?
perhaps it was "love at first sight", but then you get to know him/her more intimately and realize your goals and amitions couldn't be further apart.
not that he/she isn't a good person ... just not right for you.
the physical attraction is real, but issues that are important to you pale into insignificance in his/her mind.

It hurts to slam your head against a brick wall.
Wow momz! That's certainly a graphic way to put it.
Graphic, but accurate.

willy says: well," because of all these christmas lights on these houses if armageddon came now it would be easy for gods destroyers to find the unworthy ones who will be eaten at the great evening meal of god.
wilma says: oh", yes willy and just think of all the nice houses we can choose from to inhabit once those who opposes the society are killed off, just thinking about the possibility of having my pick of all these nice homes makes me more anxious for the battle to come.. .
[Wilma turns beet red]

WHAT? You want to speak to my husband?!
Janet, what could you possibly want to speak to him about?
perhaps it was "love at first sight", but then you get to know him/her more intimately and realize your goals and amitions couldn't be further apart.
not that he/she isn't a good person ... just not right for you.
the physical attraction is real, but issues that are important to you pale into insignificance in his/her mind.
Would you be brave enough to forego the security of familiarity, to find true fulfillment in the unknown?
I did, and I did. It was hard. I spent two years in grief/rehab (figurative).
Amen Voideater! Been there, done that. I can certainly relate to that part.

A person who is aware of their own needs, their desires, their goals - generally won't settle for something less
I believe you hit the nail on the head. Maybe "being comfortable in your own skin" makes it easier to take risks in areas where you possibly might get hurt.
But then again ... no risk, no reward right?
