Thanks, openeyes. This is something I've concluded as I've worked through my first relationship with all it's problems. I was grasping instead of generating (gotta love Angela). Now that I do my best to take care of myself and share that, things are much better. It's a tough thing to do, but so worth it. It prevents you from having to analyze and disect everything for it's hidden meaning. You can accept the other person for who they are instead of trying to make them into a machine to provide what you're missing.
