Why do people enter a relationship with ‘I can fix them’ attitude

Home/ News / Why do people enter a relationship with ‘I can fix them’ attitude

Humans have a tendency to 'fix'—be it things or even our near ones. In romantic relationships, one feels the need to fix their partner as they think their partner could be a better person, which in turn will improve the relationship as well. This need to be the saviour is highly problematic. After all, relationships are about two people sharing mutual love and respect for each other, but if one of them thinks the other isn’t good enough and needs to work on themselves (so they fit their perception), it is unfair. People want to be loved for who they are, and not for whom their partner wants them to be.
