Loving Their Potential vs. Loving Who They Are Right Now

Atom · refreshed Search related

One of the five questions asks whether you're in love with who your partner is right now as a whole, or only with their good side, their potential, or the idea of them. Loving someone's potential is essentially loving a fantasy you're projecting onto a real human being. The relationship is then doomed to disappoint both parties because the real person can never become the imagined one.
