I get the feeling that people in not-so-good relationships look at good ones, and imagine it's unattainable.
"Oh, they're just perfect together."
Well, that's not quite how it works.
"Bottom line: it's couples who are truly right for each other wade through the same crap as everybody else, but the big difference is they don't let it take them down. One of those two people will stand up and fight for that relationship every time. If it's right, and they're real lucky, one of them will say something."
- Dr. Cox, Scrubs
Yes, I'm using popular culture for a citation, but that's just because I'm cool. The point is that in good relationships there are misunderstandings, there are differences of opinion, and there are fights.
The difference is that everything gets worked through. The two people talk about it with respect and honesty, and work out a solution. Sometimes it's hard to broach the subject, but it gets done anyway.
Sure, maybe I'm presumptuous to say I'm in a "good relationship", but it is coming up to the three year mark. And when we started, the average relationship length was about three weeks. Sixteen-year-olds are a fickle breed.
I don't know. Sometimes it wont work out, regardless.
