Thinking about us, humans, we are selfish creatures.
We do not go after for friendship to have companions.
We do this to feel good about ourselves.
We tend not to seek relationships to merely be romantic
to someone. We do this to show off our ass(et/e)s,
enter romantic relationships to be praised. To be
cherished, adored, looked up to or envied.

It's all about how the other half make us feel about
ourselves. No matter how the days go, everything
about how good we feel about ourselves when the day
ends.

And when we don't get quite what we deeply long for,
eventually we'd move on.
The person gets more weight of the goodies, is the
last to move out. Of any kind of relationship.

Have insight, don't crush your better half.
