Quirks, tics, flaws - whatever you want to call 'em, we all have 'em.

What are some things you would like to improve about yourself in your relationship(S)? This question is not just restricted to romantic relationships.

I would like to work on not messing with my Sea-Goat too much. Sometimes, I can play with his hair when he doesn't me to, or sneak attack him by biting his dimples. So, it comes down to respecting his personal space and being considerate of his feelings.

How about you?

Letting partners find a peaceable solution to their struggles without my help, even if they ask.

Acting out of my truth and less from the "what I am supposed to do in this situation" handbook.

Leaving partners sooner rather than later if something isn't adding up.

Good stuff

Thank you for sharing ?

I thought this was gonna be a thread about perception of self based on that title up there...

In a way, it is because the things might not be something your partner has pointed out to you, or may even be something they swear isn't a "problem," but it is still something you've noticed about yourself and want to work on.

The man in the mirror, is a fake expression, designed to take your mind away from the real idea, that the person you see in the mirror is not you, it's not the same as everybody else sees. It's a reflection, and it's wrong...a double mirror is better, if you see the reflection of the reflection.

Yeah, that goes for selfies, too.

But it was a reference to Michael Jackson's song, not the expression itself. So I think it works well.

This Gemini is in my life to teach me about not being so literal. My Aires moon emotionally reacts first and then later my head catches up. He's helping me pace those instinctual reactions.

Be more secure, and just let things be. In other words feel comfortable and content without needing full control or possession over the person. Its super hard with placements like Cancer Venus 1st house and Scorpio moon 5th house, but I ruin all my relationships. If I feel I can't easily control it I push it away hard then withdrawal.
