cycle all over again? Hi all. I would think everybody has had at least one romantic relationship break-up at some point in their lifetime. Many people nowadays, particularly American women and men, have this "I don't care and it's my way or the highway" kind of attitude mentality. With the US divorce rate officially way over 60% now and since almost all dating relationships end at some point anyway, why do people even bother to try to date someone anyway? It just seems to me that dating/marriage/having kids has more disadvantages than advantages. With so much cheating, STD transmission, and heartache all over the place going on, I think it's actually dumb to date for many reasons. Staying "totally single" has more advantages than being in a relationship in my opinion. It's funny when you think about it. Two people meet, they like each other, they start dating, the companionship and the sex is exciting in the beginning, issues start to arise, someone gets unhappy, a break-up happens, and heartache, depression, misery usually happens to at least one partner. Also, sometimes one partner wants to be left alone and decides to cut off the other partner completely with no contact as if the other person doesn't even exist anymore (people can be mean and cruel). They are then told to move on and find someone else but what people really do is just repeat the stressful dating cycle all over again but with someone new. People act like a new person will make them happy again. But wait a second. Didn't the ex do the same thing, at least at first? lol. Seriously. So, here's my question to you. Why do people date just to eventually break-up and repeat the stressful dating cycle all over again? This applies to all different kinds of romantic couples. I mean, is it really worth all the grief and heartache that will very likely come out of it when it will likely end? Tell me what you think. Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks!
