I think people need to get past their childhood traumas and have some psychological stability before considering being in a relationship. Without that, foundation is rocky and it's just going to carry through to next generation as well if children result from the partnership. I'm glad I don't have children and I have enough honesty with myself to know not to attempt commitment. As far as recovery goes, I am likely to die trying.

You sound like a perfectionist here … with all the respect, perfection is the last thing a lasting relationship needs ..
Relationships need discover of each other’s imperfections, respecting them while working together towards changing them to a strength for both …

@Soossie It might sound like it from my posts on here. I'm concluding based on close to thirty years of trying despite my own imperfections and those of others and compassion despite them. There came a time for me when I decided enough is enough. At least when I make some progress with my own self-growth I can acknowledge and appreciate it alone, without it being shot down by others because of their own problems. Maybe I've just been unlucky, in which case I am glad for those who have not.
