That’s one of the hardest lessons to learn about love. It doesn’t matter how much you love someone, how much you have in common, how much attraction there is. You have to be compatible. You have to want for the relationship to succeed on terms both people can accept and feel comfortable with while having their needs nurtured and met. If you can’t stand strong as yourself while also supporting 1/2 of the foundation of a relationship, then you don’t have a working relationship.
No amount of love can bring dreams to earth if there’s no place to land.
