The question is whether you’re perfect for each other.” (Robin Williams to Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting). As the quote acknowledges we all have our issues and we all have our baggage (and if you don’t I would contend you haven’t truly lived). The most important aspect of having issues/baggage I believe, is how you “deal” and how YOU allow it to affect your life. This distinction is everything.
From being EU (Emotionally Unavailable) to Mommy issues, these obstacles have the likely ability to destroy relationships. Such issues affect both genders I imagine differently, but as I date men I see it more frequently in men verses my women friends. These issues are displayed in numerous ways, but generally ends with a self sabotage-like behavior based on the belief that the latest romantic interest will never measure up to mom’s expectations. A recent date even told me he didn’t cut his hair short because he wasn’t sure his mom would like it. And yes, he was in his forties…
Like I said, we all have issues that come in a variety of baggages. But it is how you let them affect your life and how you deal, that is key. Oy Mommy.
