Ahh..Relationships!

How many times have you thought to yourself:
 "If only he would just listen to me"
  "Why does she always ignore the things that will make me happy?"
  "He didn't act like this when we were dating!"
  "If I knew she would turn out like this, I never would have married her"

One of the problems we human beings encounter is what I call our "me".
We look at situations through our own perspectives, and interpret the
other person's motivations and feelings from that perspective.  I urge
caution to all who find they are doing this because it leads to
misinterpretation and unnecessary resentment.

For example:  Jill is a caretaker-type personality.  She sees someone in
need and she responds by doing her best to help them. She demonstrates
how she cares by doing so.  John is not a caretaker-type personality.  He
is an autonomous, self-help type.  He loves Jill but does not perceive her
need as something he must help her meet.  In fact, John believes that Jill may perceive his efforts to help as indicating Jill is not capable of managing her own needs.  So he doesn't help.  And Jill feels as if John must not love her because she would never behave as he is unless she didn't love him.

See the problem?  Different perspectives.

It's so important that we communicate how we feel to our loved ones.  The reason?  So they will not misinterpret our motivations.
