Accept imperfections from "summary" of How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids by Jancee Dunn
It’s time to accept imperfections. Look, nobody’s perfect. You may have had this fantasy that you’d marry someone who would read your mind, anticipate your every need, and be your hot lover and devoted parent, all while keeping the house spotless and always remembering to take the trash out. But that person doesn’t exist. So instead of constantly being disappointed that your partner falls short of this impossible standard, try to embrace their imperfections. Maybe they forget to pick up their dirty socks, or they’re terrible at loading the dishwasher, or they leave the toilet seat up. It’s annoying, sure, but it’s not the end of the world. Remember, you’re not perfect either. Maybe you leave your makeup all over the bathroom counter, or you spend too much money on shoes, or you have a tendency to nag. We all have our flaws. The key is to recognize them and work on them, while also accepting that your partner has flaws too. So the next time you feel annoyed that your partner isn’t living up to your expectations, take a step back and ask yourself if this is really worth getting upset about. Is it more important to have a perfect house or a happy relationship? Focus on the big picture and try to let go of the little things. Accept imperfections, both in yourself and in your partner, and you’ll find that it’s much easier to get along.
