So I'm going to get a little rant-y. Why on earth can I not make relationships work. I was in multiple long term relationships where my boundaries and communication skills were,frankly,terrible. Those relationships lasted for years. Now that I'm setting healthy boundaries and communicating honestly all of my connections seem to fizzle out quickly. I tell myself that I'm weeding out the bad apples early but I'm becoming more and more convinced that I'm just not going to connect with anyone who I'm attracted to and who's a decent partner. Uuuuuugggghhh.
"setting healthy boundaries and communicating honestly" - that's your problem there ma'am, psychology.
