A good relationship with a patient partner can help give you the strength to do what is necessary to become happier with yourself. But ultimately the effort has to come from within and the work has to be done by you.

Yes, i agree with what you are told, one has to seek happiness from self, and not from any other individual. By thinking of anyone as a source of happiness can be dangerous in marriage terms, and certainly shortlived. i would recommend you to find ways to remain happy and do what you like to do in any situation.

Happiness, like respect, begins with you. If you do not feel happy in the relationship there are reasons for that. Relationships are not a one sided effort. Just try to figure how would you change 5 or 10 years down the road if you are not happy. It takes a toll on you... bitternes and sorrow may result in the long run.

depending upon how long youve been with your S/0 they oughta be aware of your insecurities and be trying to help you with them - if they dont make you feel good about you then their love is not sincere- dont get me wrong tho - u should never base your relationship on what you are told by your s/0 but you should always be getting good comments and being uplifted by them

I believe you can. But like the others have said, it has to come from within you. Its not fair to demand that your s/o make you happy. Its like I've always said, you shouldn't look for someone to complete you, you should find someone who compliments you. Its not fair to them if you make it their job to make you happy. But I garuntee that if you put in the effort to change your level of happiness, it will reflect in your relationship. Your s/o knows when you aren't happy and can do very little to help you out of your "funk" so to speak. Look within your heart and soul to see what will make you happy.
