You ever try to feel bad for someone, but they keep making the same mistakes?

Dude at work, kinda came out that he got cheated on, took time off, was never really the same, but was still with his girlfriend. Then, bam, got cheated on again. And again. Most of us were trying to get him in the right mindset, but now we kinda see that it's all on him. He's doing it to himself. Just goes to show you that you can try your hardest, but some people won't learn.

I think it's worth remembering that relationships and feelings aren't easy. Knowing the right thing to do and doing it are two very different things. Most people don't want pain in their lives and they do what they think will best avoid it. Sometimes the fear of letting go is too much and so people will put up with all kinds of shit just to avoid the pain of losing someone. They don't quite appreciate that they are already dying a death of 1000 cuts.

For most people they get there in the end, though. It might take a while but they learn.
