The Good Relationship – A Modern Myth?
I had lunch yesterday with a friend of mine who consistently gets into relationship train wrecks. Her new significant other was griping the other day that he always seems to attract those individuals who are hot off the heels of a bad relationship with the only thing intact being their emotional baggage. Well.. I hate to hand it to you buddy… but if they were happy with that relationship… it would not have ended.
Regardless I have come to the conclusion that regardless of the amicability of any breakup, the relationship will always be perceived as ‘bad’ as it is our nature as humans to look at all that went wrong in that relationship rather than what went right.
Anybody care to join me in a ‘bad’ relationship? - I already know the answer to that question.
