Personally never been in many bad relationship long enough for me to feel that. I’ve had very mutual attraction where we both supported each other for the most part. If it gets to that early then that’s a sign it’s not working. If it feels that bad it can’t be beneficial, then that’s probably a cut off point (depending on length, after years a discussion is in order anyways).
The bad one? Perhaps had blinders on and didn’t see but looking back didn’t see as much take to the give. It’s easier to see looking back but don’t take that one bad issue is a reason things can’t work either. Sometimes a good talk (the horror of any tv show) can work things out so everyone is at the same expectations. If not then … That happens too, more often than finding a long term partner. Otherwise there’d be hardly any dating.
In the end communication about expectations are the key, if they don’t line up you probably won’t as a couple either.
A quote from Dune if I recall correctly is power attracts the corruptable, not exactly that it corrupts. So not that humans are evil but we offer positions that shouldn’t be given to anyone that wants it. Mean okay I’m sure there’s good people that try for elected positions for sure.
Also quote from hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy, no one that seeks power should be given it. Or similar was in reference to who they elect president.
While hitchhiker’s guide is comedy I think it holds well, people who seek power want to abuse it. People resultant to accept a position may be better to administer. I think, while quite different moods in their texts, they were saying the same thing. One (quite boring and dry, no pun intended, at first read) another just silly with some commentary on life.
Funny how that works cause you’d think democracy would weed others out. But gestures to democracies these days we see how things work with media manipulation. I think the hitchhiker’s guide worked and well was made due to the education of the author.
So why the eff aren’t we supporting system where we can cultivate ideas to improve ourselves rather than hearing media tell us not to like someone who is probably cool anyways?
Yes a north american view but right wing has been spreading and all.
