autoflavour >> I completely agree. It's the basis of any relationship, and it was the thing we were worst at.
We could have worked on our communication though, but the real, fundamental problem was her selfishness. Granted, she "tried" to be committed for a while, but even then, she was only willing to be in the relationship to the extent that she was able to satisfy her own personal needs. Any time she had to sacrifice her personal needs for the good of the relationship...well...she never actually had to sacrifice her personal needs.
What's so troubling is that she has had a marriage and several relationships since that all ended because she was unwilling to set aside her personal needs for the good of the relationships. Rather than learn from this repeated mistake, or even recognize that she made a mistake, she insists upon letting history repeat itself.
It broke my heart earlier today when a friend of mine told me about a text she had received from her significant other. All it said was "there is no more me...there is only US."
