Optimistic or a Realist
36 Answers
I am a positive person by nature and always try and count my blessings. However, even though I congratulate everyone who announces their engagement and/or marriage, and genuinely wish them all the happiness in the world, my experience is that a relationship can end as quickly as it takes to open a door and walk out! This happened to me years ago and to endless of my friends since! One minute you are happy to be alive and the next they walk out and because they have officially 'left you' they are free to do whatever they like with whoever, I don't think there is a hurt quite like it to be honest, but still try to be happy for people and not appear bitter. Am I too optimistic that things will change, I know a lot of people are happy but there seems to be an awful lot of us who are single now and lonely :(

I think that it's great that you have a positive attitude on life, and wish that more people felt this way as well - my OH said a very true thing the other day - I was moaning about being broke at present, and he said that we are only poor financially, we are rich in many other ways! He is also an optimist!
There are some people out there that have generally *** lives, and the more fortunate of us should appreciate how lucky we really are.

Exactly...."small" price to pay for women's lib?
It would seem that in previous generstions one's infidelity (usually the male's) was excepted as a symptom of human weakness and one just "got on" with the relationship. Now, however this attitude has changed and it is now a matter of "one mistake" and that's it..........

My opinion is that relationships today are taken up rather too quickly and tend to be based on attraction over friendship. It is a fact that sexual attraction, the 'in love' stage passes for most couples in about 2 years; with no underlying friendship it is easy to just latch onto the next sexually attractive person that happens along.
The knowledge that 'love' is different from the state of 'being in love' comes hopefully with maturity and experience.
