Marriage counseling - Other Oriented Perfectionist

Other-oriented Perfectionist people tend to focus on the capabilities and actions of those around them. They tend to set unreasonably high standards for their partner and place great importance, often irrational, on the attainment of these standards. Unfortunately, this makes them often hostile and dogmatic towards their partner, insisting that mistakes cannot be tolerated. Other-oriented Perfectionist people feel that they are actually behaving in what is at the best interest of their partner, not realising the stress they cause their partner by placing unreasonable expectations on them. To make matters worse, Other-oriented Perfectionist people tend to be openly critical of their partner, and combined with a need to control other people's behaviour, will inevitably put unbearable strain on the relationship. A person can overcome their Other-Oriented Perfectionism by:

Learning to be more accepting of a partner's mistakes and shortfalls.
Accept that demands for perfectionism are unreasonable and irrational, because no one is perfect.
Marriage Counseling and Anger Management techniques can be highly effective in teaching tolerance and understand towards a partner.
Learn to be more trusting of others.
Learn to relinquish control.
