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.
I've been thinking about that myself recently, since right now I'm in my first breakup, and even though it's been almost 2 months I still have moments of intense pain, and although I've been functional, for some reason during this past week or so it has been worse.
Going through it, I don't know whether or not I have the strength to go through something like this again.
But at the same time, for me, being alone forever would be far worse than going through these times of pain. The hope would be to minimize them and only get into a relationship which I thought had a good chance of working out, but I'm not sure how realistic this is.
Also, for me, the benefit does make it worth it, assuming I ever find the right person. For me it's the necessary suffering that I have to go through before I find the right relationship.
