You spend a lot of your life thinking about, fretting over and just plain craving a solid relationship. From first sight, you're wondering how you want any encounter with the opposite s*x to play out-whether you hope to see them again or pray they'll never be able to track down your phone number.
If the two of you click, the relationship builds and secrets are shared and affection grows. Maybe it's love or maybe it's passion, but after such intimacy, it's very difficult to break things off when the relationship takes a downturn.
If our relationships were neat little streets, it would be easy to recognize a dead end. More often, though, we move from stage to stage, engaging then disengaging, ever hopeful that we can make it work. We rationalize situations, even the unbearable ones, to justify staying together.
Perhaps the relationship can be saved with some effort. But maybe it can't. Don't stubbornly ignore the signs.
