every relationship I've had has taught me a lot, so I understand why older people are less likely to divorce - they have more experience and have learned more lessons, so they know what they're getting into and know how to handle it better. BUT every serious relationship I've had has caused me and the ex a lot of pain.
so, why do we, as young people (I'm 22 by the way), want to get into serious committed relationships when it's almost guaranteed to end painfully? ESPECIALLY in college when we probably live far apart over the summer and will probably end up far apart after college is over.
I want really badly to have a girl to share life with and learn about and love another person, and to have sex be about love, discovery, communication, appreciation, and excitement instead of just satisfying my shallow needs. BUT I don't know if it's worth the inevitable pain that is very likely to come when the relationship ends.
what do you think people?
I'd really love to hear more stories/details from personal experience; especially from people who are not in their teens and early 20s, but maybe from people who are in their late 20s or early 30s and have 'been there.'
keep it up, everyone
