If a person is looking for someone to heal themselves, then that's a problem. We're responsible for our own issues. But if we find someone that cares for us, and that could be a friend or a romantic interest, and they work with us, then, yes, people can heal each other -- as long as those who are injured are willing to work on their own healing. I've seen this happen many times, not just in my life, but in the lives of those I know in rehab programs or groups like AA and I saw it happening when I worked in treatment.
I see your point.

I think you may have been thinking in a more direct line, as in I cannot heal you. (I'm not saying you're broken, just an example!) But if you and I come together and both are willing to work, then we can help each other heal. It still comes down to the responsibility of each individual, though.

Does that mean we're both right?

I think with the right person I would be willing to put up with more stuff and try to work through more things. I don't think I can put an actual number on how much baggage I would accept or wouldn't accept, each person and situation is very different.

So the amount of baggage one has doesn't at all determine how "right" someone is for you?

Actually, I get where you are coming from and I think you are saying what a lot of people think but I disagree with you.

No and he didn't step on them either.

They just healed on their own. Still hurt a little, though.

You question his choice?

I think just about everyone will put up with more of a liability in a partner who also brings more attractive qualities.

This is nearly implicit, in that no one is perfect.
