Is the merits of relationships worth the heartbreak

[Carôusoul]

I'm wondering myself. edit: sorry about the awful grammar on the thread title.

You is forgiven

In my experience, no. Show me a girl that will not break your heart and I might change my mind... So far, not much luck, and I am not 26 - I think I have given up all hope and trust in women to be fair! And no matter how good, the good times feel, that gut wrenching feeling when she breaks your heart is a lot worse, and I have to question if it is all worth it, and I can't help feel every new relationship I get into from now, the good times are going to seem less so, because I will be waiting for the day she does what every other girl has done to me... You can play this for me now too...

No. But not because of the "heartbreak". More like because I don't want to spend money, or be with the same person.

I'd just like to say that its cynical to believe that every girl will break your heart. I'd say 4 out of 5 will, and in the end maybe 1 in 15 could be the right type of girl for you, but for that 1 that you come across that you can trust to an infinite degree it becomes absolutely worth it to go through all the shit it takes to get there. You get out what you put in. If you aren't willing to make an effort to find happiness, it may never come. It isn't out looking for you and it isn't in the first five or even ten girls you get into a relationship with, usually.

Of course mostly everyone that is in a happy relationship will say "yes" and everyone who isn't will say "no". Depends on who you ask. I vote yes.
