“What's generally happening is that you are more present in the beginnings of these relationships and your subconscious, where ego pops up, is suppressed to a large extent. At the beginning of this joyous union, you were able to unconsciously silence that little voice of judgment because it was overwhelmed by the yearning for the connection. This little voice is the ego constantly trying to interject judgments into the mix based upon your self-identification and beliefs .  However, as the daily grind of life starts to intercede, we are not as conscious as we once were and this is where the subconscious ego sees its opening and pounces.”

“Some aspect of your soul responds and, with time, you begin to feel more and more comfortable with them.  Small things are forgiven out of hand, even things that in the past would have really irritated you.  Life is magical and you feel that you have found someone with whom you will have a lasting connection.  Then one day, without realizing it, a judgment comes into your mind.  It may just be a passing thought of "that's not how I would have done that" or "I never noticed that before".  This unspoken judgment may start to build in your mind and can eventually lead to doubt, which leads to more judgment, which builds on itself over time.”

“Judgment is the source of most failed relationships, whether we see this and label it as such or not.  And where does judgment come from?
