I'm not a big fan of settling, I'm willing to wait for what I want most of the time... so when I see people I care about settling for less than what they want or deserve in relationships it truly baffles me.
Are you really too cheap to buy an electric blanket to warm your bed at night?
Why do so many men and women stay in unsatisfactory relationships with someone they're only dating? I can understand trying to work things out if you're in it for the long haul, but why would you stay with someone who has made it abundantly clear (many times) that a) they aren't in love with you, b) wouldn't miss you if you were gone, c) doesn't see ANY kind of future with you.
Are you REALLY that masochistic? I know you can't be naive enough to believe that you can change someone's feelings just by waiting it out.
And for the person who allows the relationship to continue even though you don't want it... why? Why do you want to waste your time, and someone else's? Why do you want to tease someone who you know is crazy in love with you when you know you'll never return the feelings?
Are you REALLY that sadistic? I've seen you be so much better than this, why are you hurting someone on purpose, because you are. You know that your actions (or inaction) and your lack of feelings are hurting this person, but you haven't been firm in telling them to pack their bags. Are you lazy? Or just that emotionally bankrupt that having anyone (even if it's the wrong one) love you is better that being single (even if you don't love them)?
None of this is okay. Breaking up can be hard, painful, and ugly... but you know what is worse? Wasting years of your life with someone that you don't care about or who doesn't care about you.
Had a dream that I was back in school again and had missed a few classes. The assignment was to discuss the movie Apollo 13 and the marketing strategies used when it was released. I was totally panicked because I hadn't seen the film since it's release and couldn't remember anything beyond "Houston we have a problem."
