Consider being more acceptive of your partner's behaviors.
It is unlikely that they are intentionally aggravating you.

and adopt a live-and-let-live attitude.
Your relationship will become stronger and happier if you do.

Working at a job you hate is unlikely
to bring you either happiness or success.

Just as in the comedies, a person who is in love
with the idea of love sees prospective partners
through the lens of idealism.

They are so perfect - the match of my dreams."

It's unlikely their friends think so.
So what happened? That person with the cute smile
was not much more than a mirror for the hopes and dreams
of the one in love with love.
