okay... I've been too busy to add what I wanted to add a couple of days ago, so here it is.
I used to be an expatriate in Singapore for about 1 year. I would return for a few years each Christmas to be with my family. I befriended many other expatriates and locals. Many people would date, hook up, screw around etc.
Everyone knew that the time was finite and that heartbreak was just around the corner. They said the could handle it. They said the would be mature about it. But I can count on one hand how many people of my friends that were not heartbroken over it. I thought I could handle it. I couldn't.
I was the shoulder that many girls cried on, lamented on how painful it was. They said they knew, they understood that it was coming but still carried on with the relationship because "being with someone was better than being alone." Or so they thought... but the reality of it was that the pain of the heart was more painful than the loneliness.
