Why is it that we (or perhaps just me) can mess up relationships so easily? I don’t mean messing things up like politicians and certain other high profile people do, I mean the little tiny seemingly insignificant things that always seem to go wrong that keep relationships from being perfect. It seems that all these many years, the things that are the most important in our lives ought to be the things we get right most of the time. It’s the things that get misinterpreted or taken out of context etc. that should be so easy to avoid but never seem to be learned. I know there are certain things I say or do that will drive someone around the bend, but do I ever seem to learn not to do them? – of course not. I repeat the same mistakes over and over. Yeah, I know maybe it is the nature of the dog, but I have always been good at modifying my behavior and relearning things when needed, why do I find it so difficult to just remember to keep my mouth closed once in a while? (The old think before you leap adage).
