“When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete
us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that
we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody
more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit
that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us,
are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us,
and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program
for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”
-Tom Robbins
