Optimism- not always the best thing

Well...well....well.

I've been an optimistic person for quite a while. Thinking that it was a good quality to have, I made sure that I was optimistic in my last relationship. I always thought that we could work through things- we had great communication skills....Guess that just wasn't enough for the other person. Why did we break up? Why aren't we back together? Don't ask me....I don't know. Have NO clue. Guess optimism isn't always the best thing.
