I used to be a big proponent for the 'you shouldn't try to change the person you love' crew, but there are things about my husband that he should change if he wants to be part of a family that works together, or maybe he should have picked a different wife, or none at all even.

That being said, we all evolve in different ways. Most people are not static in their attitude to life and how they think about things. Most of us are open to change if we can see that it's for our own benefit. I know that in his heart my husband knows he should do some things differently, and he's trying, but it doesn't mean we still don't have conflict over some things. I think I have changed during the course of our relationship, and he has too. We both have a long way to go before we're perfect, but we're trying.

I think it's when you decide you can't be bothered trying anymore that the end comes into sight.
