There's nothing logical about relationships.
Magpie isn't perfect. If I were so inclined I could come up with a list as tall as you are of her flaws. I'm quite certain that she could do the exact same regarding me.
I accept her personality quirks as part of who she is. There's too much to love for me to do anything else.
Regarding comparisons, I never do it. I had no shortage of potential female companions during my last bout of singlehood, as some may attest. I've had a couple since; in fact, just a week ago a pretty little thing invited me out for a Saturday night. I told her that I'd have to check with my girlfriend first.
So I have lots of material for comparison shopping, if I were inclined to do such a thing. But I'm not; down that road lies nothing but unhappiness and self-doubt. The problem with what-might-have-been is that you never know. We have exactly one road available to be known in the fullest, and that's the one we're on. Better to simply accept what you have then sit and drive yourself crazy wondering.
