One of the most significant sources of trouble in all
human relationships is misunderstandings, and one
huge reason for misunderstandings is that we constantly
make suppositions. We suppose what other people think or
believe, and the worst is that we take our assumptions for
real and react to them, and from there it’s drama all the
way. The problem is that most of the time, what we suppose
is not even true. It’s made up in your mind. Assumptions
destroy friendships, marriages, relationships at work—and
all of this because we forget to do one thing: ASK.

If you are the type of person that needs other people to be
perfect in relationships, you are doomed to encounter
unhappiness in your relationships because nobody can ever
live up to your high standards. Perfectionism is the enemy
of good relations, because very often perfectionists are
extremely sensitive to criticism, and always on the
defensive. It gets even worse when we expect perfectionism
from our spouse, partners, or friends. If you expect other
people to be perfect, you will inevitably get disappointed
which leads to frustrations and in the worst case to lack of
acceptance of the spouse, friend or partner.
