Your Partner’s Flaws
Loving your partner's flaws is not always realistic. Some people have habits that are slightly disgusting and impossible to "love."
Simply accepting them and learning how to shrug them off and minimize their importance is much more realistic.
Accept that you have flaws

This means you have to accept the idea that you have flaws, and that sometimes, people are going to point them out.
1. If you want to be self-actualized, you must accept yourself (flaws and all)
First, you need to accept who you are, including your flaws. Some imperfections you can fix, but others you’ll have for life. Decide to approve of these unchangeable traits.
