      Very, very true, Reka! Thank you for sharing! People rarely change for someone else or for something outside themselves. It has to be their inner need.

If the answer is yes, then we just accept the partner as they are and stop trying to fix them. Personally, I found this part most difficult but also most liberating when I resorted into the acceptance.
