I have no idea how to title this, or whether it belongs in this part of the forum. But a previous post I made, got me thinking.

It's more a request for other people's opinions on relationships. You meet a person and when you get into a relationship the deeper and more intimate stuff starts to follow and not long after you start to think maybe they are not quite say ninety percent of what you are looking for. This is easy enough for me having been burned quite severally in a past relationship but I'm still feeling I want to be with someone again, so I'm being cautioius and knowing..You'll never find 100% anyway.

But you still find some pretty amazing qualities in this person, so you go ahead and continue seeing them. Then inevitably it will end usually over some menial matter that gets overblown, plans are pulled down and that hurts for both and you go back to your life before them. And then you ask - Should I have done that? Should I have let it go so far when I knew they weren't right for me but I still thought they were amazing enough anyway? What does that say about myself then?

Or is it more a case when you never know why people come into your life, and there is good stuff to be taken even if it doesn't result in forever? Maybe I should just be happy being single then putting reservations aside if I like a person to avoid hurting them.
