I don't think it's depressing at all. I'm glad to know that I can make a relationship work if I want to. I don't have to worry whether or not I'm with "the one" and if it doesn't work with the person who I think is "the one," I don't have to be depressed that I've missed my one chance in life to be with "the one." My point of view is more optimistic. If the relationship works, it works. Wonderful. If it doesn't work, great, I can move along in the world to the next person I think I feel I connect with. If it doesn't work from the "romantic" point of view, that's it. It means I've missed my one chance to meet my one true love and will never meet someone that's right for me ever again until the day I die. The end.
Now, that's depressing!
