The Perfect Partner vs The Perfect Relationship

Most people want the perfect relationship; and yet they mostly search for their version of perfect person to be with.

Once within a relationship, we begin to make observations of the others flaws
OHH NO ! they arent perfect !

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”

We pretend to our partners we are more than we are.
We fear they will realise that others appear to have or be more than us.
We start to need more reasurirng than before, that we are still within a perfect relationship!

Unconscioulsy we start believe in, and fear the inevitable dilemma ; 

how can our relationship be perfect if our partner isn't perfect ?

We must 'help' the other, to become closer to (our ideal) perfect !
We justify ourselves upon the task of improving our imperfect relationship, by improving our partners.

Until the fateful day arrives ... there is no point to continuing with it anymore ...
they arent perfect and never will be! (im not perfect !??) and theres nothing i can do about it .

The end! ( of our perfect relationship?)

Q: Were they ever really together, and within a genuine relationship ?
OR were they only upon some deluded quest, a pilgramage, or 'hunt' for their 'perfect' person ?

“Every search begins with beginners luck and ends with the victor’s being severely tested.”

Q: What is a genuine relationship ?

Q: If we become addicted to this 'perfect' person for our pleasure, and as with all addictions, we end up needing more and more (energy) from them to keep up our 'high' ( which finally makes us sick, of ourselves and them);  who then is the 'right 'person to share a "genuine relationship" with ?
