“When we're incomplete, we're always searching
for somebody to complete us.
When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship,
we find that we're still unfulfilled,
we blame our partners and
take up with somebody more promising.
This can go on and on--series polygamy--
until we admit that while a partner
can add sweet dimensions to our lives,
we, each of us, are responsible
for our own fulfillment.
Nobody else can provide it for us,
and to believe otherwise is to delude
ourselves dangerously and to program
for eventual failure every
relationship we enter.”
― Tom Robbins
