Have you ever heard of perfectionism?
It sounds like something relating to my first ex-wife, where everything had to be flawless, and she set crazy high standards.
Yes. That is correct. I could never be like that.
I couldn't stand it, especially the way she was always critical about herself and how others regarded her.
Sounds like no fun. At least your not married to her anymore.
Agreed.  Eventually, her depression from not always reaching these lofty goals started to drive us apart.
