You're definitely a wise one! And you are absolutely right about not being able to change someone. We can only decide what we can live with and what we can definitely not live without!

Also, I think it's very important to realise that you cannot change the other person in terms of their personality. An example would be if he doesn't like to talk about his feelings, don't think that you can change that by trying to force to discuss it with you or make him feel guilty because he is not ‘opening up’ to you. Rather make him feel secure and safe without pressuring him and eventually he most likely will open up. Great article!
