Oh I wish I heard this advice years ago. I married my husband because he had such potential -I could see he things for him so great. Here we are 8 years later about to get divorced because I am still waiting for him to reach that potential and he has spent years avoiding it and just when I thought he was finally about there he completely sabotoged all of it. I thought I knew him and what he could do but never imagined being where we are today.
Thank you for the post so I know for my next relationship!
