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.

He is right. You can't expect relationships to make seance or follow some logical path all the time. People are unique.
Yes I could also make some crazy list detailing all of Martians flaws. I wouldn't want to waste my time doing so. We all know that our partners aren't perfect. I wouldn't expect Martin to be such a thing. If he was it would honestly scare me. I love him for who he is.
I as well don't bother with comparisons. I'm to happy with what I have. Sure the opportunity dose arise at times. My trainer for my job was hitting on me a couple of weeks ago. Before Martian there were ... I think it was two other guys that were pining for me. Actually I had to get Martian to scare one away.
If you are always in the mindset of "I could do better." Your just going to live a life of misery. Life is to short to bother. Look at all the good things that you love about your partner. If you can't find any, your in the wrong relationship.
