“In mature love, we do not look to our partner to provide our happiness, and we don’t blame them for our unhappiness. We take responsibility for the expectations that we carry, for our own negative emotional reactions, for our own insecurities, and for our own dark moods.”

— Christine Meinecke, author of Everybody Marries the Wrong Person via psychotherapy (via electrichoney)
