Relationships in the Modern Age
In our constant struggle to make ends meet and create a niche in this life it sure helps when you have someone in your life to offset the negativity out there. Have you ever poured your everything into one individual and then that person just couldn't handle the ride? If no man is an island than finding a meteorite in the cosmos is probably the next best thing. Sorry. just feel the need to express a little sadness that comes when a loved one decides, "Hey....enough is enough for me."

I'll give you that Mr. Nave that finding someone to help with negativity is nice but to make those things last you have to pour more than yourself into them, you have to give of yourself.
Some people do give of themselves (as much as they possibly can) but that isn't enough for some and what if there are other people who have pressing matters such as kids and their work? I'm not saying the person has to be around 24/7 but just knowing that there is someone there when you need them who you can talk to at anytime of the day makes living that much easier.
if having someone there to talk to makes things better then you do what it takes to make it work. if there are kids involved you work even harder to make sure it works. but relationships really shouldn't be hard anyway, if you're with the right person. most people stay together when it's good , even in today's age, a good thing is still a good thing
Maybe it's time for you to face what caused the negativity in your life and make amends to those you've hurt.
You might have better luck in your next relationship if you do.
Otherwise, do you really think any future relationship you have will be any different?
Hey, thanks for your comments... Therapy can cure a lot of things including negativity and can show you how to enjoy healthy relationships and I encourage people to do that if as you say, they are negative. Personally speaking, this posting is not about me, I was commenting about something that recently happened to a good friend of mine and we were exchanging opinions about how relationships can be so difficult especially with all that's going on in the world.
I agree it's important to make amends because when you've hurt someone and admit your part of the issue, but we've all hurt others.
I've learned we keep repeating patterns in our life and keep doing the same thing, having the same result until we figure out where we can improve.
i hope you (like all of us)can say you have grown in your life, from what I know about you, you are at the age (97? wink wink) where you should be able to mean what you wrote about healthy relationships being good and worthwhile for we all strive for that. We all want to learn from our relationships and become better people.
What more can we hope for but to become better versions of ourselves and what we were meant to be?
Your friend can do that too
That's cool of you to promote therapy, more people need to do that. I completely changed by going to therapy for years. I changed my outlook, my understanding of others and why I was attracted to certain people. Good for you to say good things about it.
Just be loving and kind, thoughtful and romantic, loving and supportive and you can't go wrong.
