Attachment is a plague

[enohae]

In reviewing my life, and those in my life, I have found that attachment within my relationships has lead to little happiness, but indeed plenty of misery. Attachment from any party in a relationship will lead to misery in the end because invariable one will be more attached than the other, or codependencies will develop between the two

My experiences have been similar, but I believe that this has to do with my approach. My current goal is to be happy with me first, at which point I will have a further clarity and insight when these things occur in the future.

Hear, hear!

If you concentrate on yourself first, you'll actually offer more to your partner in the long run, because you will be a whole and complete person, and not a shadow of your partner.

I really like this.
