It's something I always thought I understood. But now I'm not so certain. While mine is smooth sailing, the people I love are falling apart. It's one thing to hurt for yourself but when you see your best friend crumble and fall apart, gotta be the worst feeling ever. I do always wonder why the good always hurt. It's like they're destined to suffer for eternal life. So much pain with no sign of relief. I can see the anguish in her face. Knowing the only person who can stop all this pain is also the person who ignited the pain. But why do we put ourself through it. Through a relationship that is not guaranteed to last, regardless of how long or how stable a relationship may seem to be. I've heard of couples never fighting but ended up divorce. Even after 30+ years, feelings change. One of life experiences. .
