Everyone knows relationships are hard work. Everyone knows that relationships hit roadblocks and whatever the fuck else. Fucking why. What's the point? Be with a person that you mostly tolerate most of the days that you exist? And even then, they still might betray you in a horrible way. I've dealt with a lot of pain and stress and loss in my life, and when the happy shit gets sour, I just don't fucking get it. Why not just live my life fucking off and dying eventually.
Game theory does not apply to relationships, my friend.
A healthy relationship requires hard work from both parties involved, so that you can be stronger and happier together that you would be alone.
I hope you find that love in your life and when that day comes, that you are ready for it.
