Loneliness or Piece of mind?

Question

I notice people having relationship issues all of the time. It really that stressful. Is a relationship worth fighting for? But it seems like some one is gonna cheat down the road or good enough too keep it secret for a lifetime. Then you have to ask maybe I am better off with out a companion due to the fact that you do not have to worry about the other person or them leaving you.

Which is better? Or is it a catch 22?

Answer 1

This all depends on the age of the people involved.

When you people at in your teens and twenties...

...expect to have several long term serious relationships that you think will last forever and ever, only to end badly with lots of hurt feelings.

It's called growing up.

Answer 2

If you have to fight for it what's the point.  When two people really love each other there's no fighting.  I think when a relationship starts having problems it's just the begining.  More people should have the balls to just move on instead of "trying to work it out"..  Move on!! Enjoy life!!

Answer 3

You can be alone without being lonely.  Some people are so desperate to be part of a couple that they settle for a miserable relationship rather than to be alone.  If they would understand that no one else can complete them and be responsible for their happiness, they would gladly be alone for a time to find what they are passionate about, what brings them joy, and, in the process, become a whole person.  They would be content to be alone or to share part of their life with another whole person.

Many bad relationships are the result of two half people who find another bad half to make them a whole couple.  The whole couple is still made of two incomplete people.  The bad relationships are learning experiences.  You learn what you don't want in a relationship.  You learn what you need to work on yourself to be in a healthy relationship.  You learn not to settle for anyone that you are not compatible with; that is less than you want.

It's PEACE of mind, Einstein!

Piece of mind is something completely different and not very tasty!  :-%
