I was just pondering. I think the trick must be not regretting relationships after the fact, knowing that we're wired to pursue them in the midst of all the pain that they sometimes bring. It's probably true that not all relationships are worth it in the end, but we have no way of knowing that from the get-go. So we ride them out with the hope that they might end pleasantly. We can talk more about it later; I've got to run now but thanks for the comment. I appreciate your feedback.
