Compatibility Over Checklists
- A great relationship depends on someone who knows how to handle your specific needs and sensitivities.
- Physical attraction or checklist traits mean little if the partner lacks the empathy to meet your core needs.
Make Change Nonnegotiable
- Make change necessary by deciding you will never return to a relationship pattern that crushed you.
- Use that pain as the immediate driver to stop repeating destructive choices rather than relying on confidence alone.

- Identify the specific thing missing in past relationships and set it as a nonnegotiable requirement.
- Treat that missing quality as your new price of entry for all future partners.
