Here’s something to think about: Would you rather be sad in a relationship? Or would you rather be sad alone, by yourself? Haha... depressed much?

Sometimes when we feel sad, we look at things at a different perspective. I guess it is normal that we sound pessimistic and hopeless when we’re down as it really is hard to look for any source of hope when everything about you is crumbling down. Yeah, some people can overcome that, but face it; most of us can't do it easily. To learn how to handle this is important, I know - unfortunately, I'm not strong enough to consider that at the moment.

Have you tried liking someone else while you are already committed? We've studied polygamy once when I was still in high school (I think) and we were taught that people who usually wander off from marriages are those that can’t handle the flaws that they find on their partners. Usually when weakness overcomes them, they will look for someone else to patch the ‘gap’ brought about by their partner’s imperfections. The reasons behind it are usually superficial – to the point that they will fall in love with somebody else just for 1 trait that they didn’t find on their partner.

Sad isn’t it? We pity the partners that were betrayed. We pity those that were left hanging. But what if the one thing that’s missing from your partner is the one thing that matters to you most? Won’t you pity the betrayer as well? Probably you would say NO… Probably you would say: "If you are not getting what you want to begin with, why stay in the relationship?" I can not agree more – and sadly, this makes it even harder for me.

I don’t want to leave just yet. I think I’d rather be sad in a relationship. My reasons may be selfish and I'm aware of that. I need more time to learn.
