Is it normal to think future relationships would be better, but they aren't?

I look back at the last 4 years in which I was dating and, for the goodness of moving forward, am looking at things that weren't "how I would had liked them to be." Pointing out the things like "the amount of time spent together" or "not being as open" or "not having a solid "best friend" type of connection with them.... All of these things I mention are just the things that I tell myself that I would work on making a part of any future relationships. Thinking that I am going to change, better myslef, to make for a better relationship.
BUT in all honesty, I probably would be just the same person with all the same "flaws" not literal flaws but by now you should understand the idea i'm trying to get across...

is it normal to say that i'd do something different in the future just to be the exact same when that time comes... are those thoughts just there to give us hope, help us move on, allow us to realize that a change could be made.... please advise. thanks yo.

    It is normal, we all plan on changing, making ourselves better. The hard part is actually doing it!

    I kind of want to give you a hug. Change is hard, and a little scary at times. What's stopping you from changing?
