Deanna, kudos on another great article. 

I have to admit that a majority of a great relationship is being happy with who you are with. Seeing them for who they are. 

I've found my best friend in my wife. I've never known that kind of relationship before. I get into trouble, though, when I place unrealistic expectations upon her. Expectations that no one could meet. Those expectations exist because of some disturbing part of my psyche that won't allow her to be her. It doesn't happen often, but it's not a problem with her, it's a problem with me. 

We function best when my anxiety is at bay and we just exist together. As best friends. The way we were created to be. 

And, yes. George Lucas needs to stop messing around. I read a great article the other day that said the prequels should have been an intensive storyline about Anakin and Obi Wan. With a different actor than Christansen. Lord.
