Yikes!
Get me out of my relationship, pronto!!! :eek: 😛
 
Yes some people are in a relationship due to peer pressure and simply to avoid the stigma of being alone. That somehow they would be seen as broken for not sticking to the script.
 
It seems they weren't a good fit for a lot of different reasons. That's why honest communication about each other's needs and expectations is critical. I have worn many different hats when l was married. He depended on me for many different things. The higher he went up the payscale, he showed me appreciation for always being there.

The person was convinced to give it a go, and that is fair enough.
Most relationships don't work out for one reason or another. <shrug>
It was worth a try.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.
However, there are times where ppl have to experience the situation firsthand, as you would know.

For example:
I had no idea how difficult long-distance relationships are when I engaged in my first one relatively recently.
When my present partner informed me that she may be relocating to another state due to work opportunities, I immediately and reflexively baulked at the suggestion because of my previous experience.
Thankfully, there is little prospect of this happening, ATM, BTW.

I am fairly inexperienced when it comes to relationships, but I am learning.
Time will tell if things work out for me this time.
I can only do my best and take this opportunity seriously.
