"I love this topic nobody's perfect. I have met many who think they are . We all make little no no's in our life. Great web site I am enjoying it ." - Melinda

For this issue, I asked you what YOUR not-so-perfect ways are when it comes to YOUR relationships.  Nobody’s Perfect and sharing our not-so-perfect qualities bonds us together and helps us realize that what we think is perfect, may not be the same for somebody else. This is okay, in fact, this is great!  We need to agree to disagree because our different views on life is what makes us UNIQUE and it distinguishes our characteristics.

Go ahead and check out the submissions below. If you would like to add your not-so-perfect way when it comes to relationships, fill the form out at the end of the article and I will include it to the list as soon as possible! 

 1. If I wake up in the morning and I weigh myself and have gained weight, God help my man. It sets the mood for the day and not a good one. My husband jokes and says when he hears the scale he says the POUNDAGE PRAYER. I’m sure he does too. When I gain weight, I not only do not want him to touch me, but even a kiss is not allowed. It sounds crazy, but I lost over 100 pounds 15 years ago and never want to gain it back so I weigh myself every day. I know I shouldn’t, but I feel awful if I allow myself to eat late night snacks and gain. Otherwise my life is good in the man department. –Mel

2. I am a proficient nagger and a remarkable nitpicker. I am certainly working on this little personality “quirk,” but have already nearly driven my husband of one and a half years insane by pestering him about shaving more regularly, chewing with his mouth closed, and putting more space between our car and the vehicle in front of us.
 – Shari

3. When it comes to my partner, I keep forgetting that nobody's perfect! - Mary

4. I have lots of people in my life that I really like, whether we've met in the flesh or via cyberspace, but then I have a hard time keeping up. I get caught up in the day to day of things.  I used to be a great snail mail letter writer and loved that.  I'm not much of a phone person.  Email is great, but not the same as holding a letter from a friend. Maybe this will motivate me to get back to the things and people who matter. – Patricia

5. The thing that causes me the most problems is that I am a professional , so I read the minds of the guys that I date. I can't help it and have no off switch. They don't like it, which leads to many first dates. No second dates. -Terri

6. Boy, I used to think I was perfect with relationships, but having gone through a terrible divorce, serving jail time, cheating, you name it (I was out of my mind) I finally came to the understanding that I was far from our culture definition of perfect. As for relationships, as a romance and passion expert (yes, that's the industry I'm in believe it or not!), knowing communication is of utmost importance and having my partner’s three girls makes me angry sometimes for what he believes are minutiae, my impatience and expectations that people can read my mind is what is not perfect about me. I need to learn to let things roll off of my shoulder. –Lorne

7. I am a marriage, relationship, and sexual coach.  I find that I am less sensitive to feelings of others and am more geared to facts and logic, which can drive some people to distraction. - John

8. I have picked at my past boyfriends.  I see something they are doing wrong and I want to fix it. I used to tell them they are wrong and this is what they need to do to fix it.  They in turn just end up feeling bad, and like they never do anything right. P.S. I love the mission of your magazine.  Women need this. – Diahna

9. What is not-so-perfect about me in relationships is that I have a little problem compromising my integrity. By following my heart however, no matter what, I get to be thin, healthy and free without having to diet or exercise to do it! - Dr. Talia

10. My not-so-perfect way when it comes to relationships is flirting because I love the attention.  It gives me a little rush that to me is harmless. –Daisy

11. I can’t admit when I’m wrong. - Kerri

12. My fiance has a need to work on his patience.  Typically he gets very frustrated and misdirects his anger, normally snapping at someone (typically me or the dog).  He's well aware of it, but in the past I've always called him out on it (while he’s irritated) and it led nowhere.  Now we have a code word, so when he's being unreasonable (or if I am, which is hard to believe that ever happens), we shout out our word.  The word is just a stopping point, meaning, take a breath and walk away; it’s not for discussion--one of us thinks the other is being retarded. - Pam
