Lojong, Bodhicitta, and Relationships
I have been reading Stop Biting the Tail You're Chasing by Anyen Rinpoche and Allison Choying Zangmo, and have been struggling to reconcile the concepts outlined in it, namely the kind of very basic things like attachment leading to suffering, contentment, and putting others happiness before your own, with being dissatisfied in a romantic relationship. My current relationship isn't great (due to many things, but most especially my own emotional and mental health struggles), but I feel as if I'm somehow being "a bad Buddhist' by focusing on my own wants and needs in the relationship or for wanting to end it. Any personal thoughts, readings, or teachings I could watch/listen to would be welcome. Thanks.
