Fairy tales and Hollywood rom coms have taught us to expect
perfection from a soul mate, but sex and relationships therapist
Todd Baratz says we need to be more comfortable with the idea
that a "good enough" partner will do.

Todd once bought into this perfection myth - wanting a boyfriend
to meet all his needs without even being told. These expectations
helped end the relationship. Now Todd (author of How to Love
Someone Without Losing Your Mind) says we need to accept that our
loved ones will be just as flawed and human as we are.
