Dear Anita,

I have tried to communicate with them, but I take the stance that I can always do better. I don’t want to give up trying to be a better communicator. What worries me, with my most recent partner (who I haven’t given up on), is that she indeed really thinks people can read each other minds. That is essentially her definition of soul mate. I don’t know how to overcome this.

I suppose I could walk away for good, and try to be a better partner picker. But I’m also wary of  not wanting to repeat cycles, when perhaps, I could break the cycle with the person I’m with. If possible.
