Why oh why do people want to be in relationships? The pain I'm seeing some of my friends go through now over relationships ending is so bad that no benefit can possibly be worth the anguish.

"All the pleasure is worth all the pain."

Ask the friend and she will tell you that she would not trade the good times if you offered to take away the current pain in exchange.

No, I don't think they would tell me that. That's certainly the cliche, but I've learned it doesn't always hold.

I'm pretty sure they will. People are funny that way and people in love even more so.

10+ years after my last bad breakup, so what I'd consider enough time for reflection (though admittedly, in the midst of a comparatively-good one), I have to say that, yes. If I had the choice of taking away the pain it's caused and losing the good points as well, I'd take that opportunity in a heartbeat.

But then again, I'm an easily-wounded misanthrope, so take it as you will.
