Im guessing most people in a "relationship" are not with the first person they ever went with as a younger person.
I dont know anyone like that,who have been together since they were like 16 ,and with no-one else.
So with that probably came some heartache for at least one person anyway,so i often wonder,is why do humans have this thing about being with someone?
Two people kind of elect to "hang out"with each other,and they enjoy each other,then over time,usually all seems to break down,the bonds weaken,and almost inevitably they split.Causing heartache maybe for at least one of the pair,if not both.There might be a betrayal.
Which leads to another topic.Why do people in "relationships" cheat sometimes?Knowing this will likely hurt the person they are supposed to "love"..I guess most people you meet are carrying the scars of some great lost love.A person they thought was just so wonderful,yet somehow did not feel the same.
I was hurt badly in my life just once,and since then ive been very cautious,almost hurtful myself.
Maybe thats the way love goes.Everyone getting hurt,and then paying it forward to the next poor sap...
Why do we bother?Is it fear of lonliness?You just put up with some disrespect,if that person still stays around,like at least youve got someone?Yet running the risk of being hurt,in the HOPE that this time it will be alright?
I hope if you read this,your life has been happy and meaningful in your relationships.
Human behaviour is so fascinating.
