2. Comfort. Like an old pair of shoes, right? Well, let's take a look. How comfortable is it really? Is it a feeling good kind of comfortable or just a familiar kind? Looking at it from your attraction point, what are your expectations in this relationship? I'm guessing pretty low.
You've just become accustomed to the disappointments or irritations. Yet have you really? Are you still cringing every time this person blows off something that's important to you?

3. Ego. First, let me say without any doubt, you cannot change anyone. People can change, that is definitely true but the desire to change has to be within them.

To wrap this up, you cannot receive new blessings if your arms are still full of old stuff that isn't working. You have to let go of the old to welcome in the new.
