In a perfect world, we would have a perfect partner and a perfect relationship (whatever that might be). But we don't live in a perfect world, and we're all imperfect humans. This means that we have strengths and weaknesses, and we certainly have flaws. Nonetheless, it's safe to say that all of us enter a romantic relationship with a number of expectations.
