It still counts for something. If you answered yes to more than one of these questions, start counting your blessings today. If you can't answer yes to at least one of these questions, you may be suffering from a love deficiency. What ever your case may be, if you have a history of failed relationships or aren't happy with the one you are in, change something.

Some people look for people who have the same negative traits.
There are other people who find in others negative traits that complement theirs. Together they become a couple known to many as co-dependants. Complementing negative traits, like a man who acts like a child and a woman who mothers people too much, provides comfort in a dysfunctional way usually because it's familiar or has been learned. There is always hope because lives can be changed. We are what we are, not what we do.
