Why the "Good Enough" Relationship Beats the "Perfect Partner"

Why the "Good Enough" Relationship Beats the "Perfect Partner"

The Happiness Lab with Dr. Laurie Santos

Fairy tales and Hollywood rom coms have taught us to expect perfection from a soul mate, but sex and relationships therapist Todd Baratz says we need to be more comfortable with the idea that a "good enough" partner will do.  Todd once bought into this perfection myth - wanting a boyfriend to meet all his needs without even being told. These expectations helped end the relationship. Now Todd (author of How to Love Someone Without Losing Your Mind ) says we need to accept that our loved ones will be just as flawed and human as we are. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
