Why we keep searching there is no Ms/Mr Perfect.

How many of us have imagined that if we were better looking, we would be happier? Singleness is the best time to recreate yourself, consider yourself blessed and enjoy the freedom. To choose your partner, to travel and to revel in wellness.

Perhaps for you it would be smarter, stronger, richer, funnier, or thinner. The pursuit of perfection can get pretty subtle and unnerving in therapy, too, especially a long-term therapy like psychoanalysis. It’s easy to get drawn into a misguided effort to become a perfectly functioning adult: always knowing the right thing to say, never getting our feathers ruffled, easily finding an ideal work-life balance, and never ever again getting drawn into our old worries, preoccupations, bitterness, or conflicts. Both on and off the couch, I have shed my share of tears anguishing over my imperfections and wanting so much to overcome them, to be done with them, frankly, to get rid of them.

It takes a lot of hard psychological work to realize that our pursuit of perfection is in vain. First of all, no one is perfect, no one has it all. And second, even if we could be perfect, it wouldn’t get us to where we really want to go.

You see, a healthy, happy, and satisfying life is based essentially in love — loving relationships with others, and even a loving relationship with ourselves.

And at its root, love has very little to do with perfection. It is, as they say, a horse of a different color.

From now on, I will try not to be so choosy but wise.

It's been a very long time.

The question in the headline to the thread is rather misleading, seeing as the "article" has more to do with personal achievement and the way one sees themselves than it does to being an ideal husband/partner.

Whatever, I'm fine with myself, and don't need to be perfect, and certainly don't want to be "husband material", from what some see that as being.

Good luck with that one Rob. laugh

If women want "traditional relationships", I'd agree, but most don't, they want it ALL. laugh

Hi there.

1. The question in the heading is not misleading. Because if you will try to comprehend the article it was a complete insights WHY PEOPLE or rather some people are choosy in finding mate. And yet NO ONE IS REALLY PERFECT and NO BODY WANTS TO.

2. And second, to be a writer or to write something, there is no rules that you are not allowed to vent out something of yourself (I was the writer) and it's my insights.

As we have all known, writing something same as venting out a part of you.

3. If you do not want to be a husband material, PERFECTLY OKAY that was you and I respect that. Being different is not an issue, that is your opinion----I RESPECT.

4. Think about this:

He's not perfect, but was looking for Ms. Perfect.
Do u think Ms. Perfect will like him?

A wife material belongs to a husband material...
