A quote from Jiddu KrishnaMurthy on what relationships are:
"It is only when we see without any preconception, any image, that we are able to be in direct contact with anything in life. All our relationships are really imaginary – that is, based on an image formed by thought. If I have an image about you and you have an image about me, naturally we don’t see each other at all as we actually are. What we see is the images we have formed about each other which prevent us from being in contact, and that is why our relationships go wrong."

This is true, but unsurmountable. We have limited resources (brain capacity) to model everything in general (relationships in particular), and we can strive for a very accurate model, but replicating reality is impossibly complex. For, the most accurate model of reality would require the complexity of reality itself..
