I'm not sure if you're referring to my post above? (no matter).......but I wasn't stating "for somebody".

If both parties "know" it , such as a mutually agreed temporary fling or whatever.....then sometimes the so called wrong reasons work out right for that particular moment of time. Otherwise.....I tend to agree with you, and the theory of not settling.

I was with someone - for the wrong reasons, if you ask me...others may say they were the "right" reasons - and I've never felt so alone.

No, it wasn't directed @ you, lol. I agreed w/ your post, and if both parties "know" then you're right - it's a totally different set of circumstances.

My thing was people who 'knowingly' impose themselves into the lives/hearts of people for "wrong" reasons ~ mostly selfish & self-serving. . .

* They create problems because they are the problem.

People pull crap like this all the time and it's destructive and irresponsible.

Exactly, this is exactly what 'Amanda Jones' finally reveals about herself in the end.. She loses everything she gained by being a complete phoney her whole (high school) life. It takes all the chaos, all the drama, all the pain & sufferring in order for her to learn (and teach).. * Be your authentic self *

Being in a relationship with the wrong person can make it a lot more cruel.

I'd much rather be responsible for my own happiness and make that choice every day, instead of someone else ruining it for me.

Good for you if you can stomach it. I'm too honest to do that unfortunately.

Because I was physically abused as a child, I looked for love, any kind, in the wrong places. I didn't like myself because, gasp, my parents didn't. I believed that any love was better than no love at all. Eventually, I learned this was untrue after being victimized. Thankfully, I married a good guy. But, looking back, I think with what I know now, I would learn to love myself and live a solo life content with me and not some loser.

Well said. Describes how I more or less operate.

I've never figured out some I've witnessed bouncing from GF to GF or multiple divorces for years, because they have to be with someone, or it's the way its supposed to be...bla blah. Trying to tell them to take it easy usually falls on deaf ears.

You need to figure out the real issue OP, desperately wanting a relationship just seems like a "symptom" of something else.
