And When She Sees Me I Can't Lose
I love it when I do this. Just posted something minutes ago and realized I had something to add, but rather than just add it to that entry I figure might as well just start a new one.
So I talked about those couples. The annoying ones. One thing I think is common within these couples that I can't stand is that most of them have probably been together since high school, and we all know what I think about that.
Just in case you needed a reminder, or if you just happen upon this thing and have no idea what I am talking about I strongly discourage people in the teens and early twenties to be in long term relationships for multiple reasons, the biggest being that you couldn't possibly know yourself enough to know who you want to be with. Of course, I know there are exceptions and I'm just speaking generally.
THE THING IS these stone faced couples I talked about in my last entry totally support my beliefs. Think about how easy it is for individuals of both genders, in their own different ways, to get trapped into stupid relationships due to their insecurities at that age. Then comes to zombie "going through the motions" like intimacy.
"But I know so many couples who met when they were in high school."
Do you really? "So many?" I doubt it. You might know some. But not "so many".
I MIGHT know one. ONE. Out of all the couples I've known or known of there's only ONE that might be successful. That's not so many.
The OTHER THING is if you are so susceptible to stay in a relationship with someone from youth, wouldn't it be reasonable to deduce that you are also inclined to stay teenage stupid for a damn long time? Because seriously it's hard to believe, and I hate to burst so many bubbles, that you really grew without growing apart from somebody you hooked up with at 17.
I don't know. I feel like I'm being a cynical ass about all this but it's just hard for me to wrap my logical head around the idea of "high school sweethearts" or anything along that line.
Oh well.

i agree with you. I do know 2 couples that have been together since high school, but both of them broke up for about a year during college and got back together... so I think that gave them at least some time to figure life out (or what it would be like w/out this person) before they got married.
i like your posts on relationships, don't put yourself down, you know what you're talking about.
