Why Do Relationships Fail?

Yes I never said people can't be in them, only that I consider them a bad idea.

Hopefully, you'll be happy dying alone then.

We all die alone, I've never understood that phrase.

Nope, I still have family members and friends. Sex, I can get without a relationship if that's what you mean.

The phrase doesn't imply someone physically dying with you, it's more of dying while someone mourns for you/your loss. At least I believe.

Yeah, still not seeing the sense of it.

"Whew, I'm dea...what? People aren't mourning me? Lame, now I'm really, consciously miffed.".

Everyone can get sex without a relationship. There's a lot more to a relationship than just sex.

Well, until you're dying, you [or any of us] probably won't understand. It's more of a comfort thing I guess, knowing that someone will mourn and remember your life. Don't think it has anything to do with logic.

And that's precisely what he doesn't want.

Which is fine, I suppose. Each to their own.

Hahaha, "He'll learn.". Just when you thought you had it all figured, shit happened, as far as I'm aware. Don't get me wrong, congrats on working through it and making things work again, but effectively, we're all still learning. You included.

My point was; Being a walkover isn't a good thing, compromising in a relationship has to happen to some degree, but being a doormat is nobody's friend is it? Learning when to give more is one thing, but laying down and taking anything that's thrown at you is not something a man OR woman should be doing.

Oh, I copy the code to quote and edit the name if I'm replying to multiple people.

I forgot to do so.

-AC

so the original response was aimed at me, correct?

Obviously, Watson.

man....."shit happened".....yes it did. think i wont comment any further, think i will be a gentleman here and bite my tongue.

Did I not just congratulate you, sincerely I might add, on working through it?

Learn that you are a learner also, and stop making comments like "He'll learn." in future. You're still learning, we all are, that's part of the relationship package, RJ.

-AC

we are learning until the day we die. that's stating the obvious. "hey, AC, the sky is blue!!" feel me?

Then you'd do well not to insinuate that I'm still learning as if you aren't.

Furthermore, my comments on being a doormat do not require learning, and as far as anybody suggesting "He'll learn that this is how it is.", I'd suggest those people have far more to learn than I do, if accepting possible degradation and usery in a relationship has become part of their lives.
