O_o That's gotta leave a bad taste in your mouth

Seriously, I find you hard to argue with. Not because I agree with you but because I'm not such a great masterdebator.

Reed, I've been trying to come up with my own answer outside the quote but there are so many possible answers. Love causes so many reactions that are addictive so maybe it has a lot to do with biology...the hormones love releases...dopamine....oxytocin.... Or, maybe it's just that being in love feels so damn good.

Being in love, or even in infatuation, does tend to put a smile on your face

'Cause we're gluttons for punishment. I'm in recovery, though.

I think Urban is right - a time may come when you don't want to deal with it anymore. It might've come for me; I'm just not sure yet...

Me too. I think an aspect of this issue may be physiological/neurochemical. I would bet that some have better, or clearer, emotional memories than others. Eh, maybe in my case it's a matter of memory all together, but I tend to forget negative experiences from relationships and in general.

Sorry, only a few words of Suomi, not much -- but I have no problem being a practice partner for you if you want to learn more English. Message me if you're interested. I can converse with you via email and if you want, correct and/or suggest. Don't be embarrassed about English, if you're worried I'll be critical. Everyone has to start somewhere, and writing is a good way to do it.

Yet it seems that at some point we pick our self up off the ground & dust our self off & go do it again. What drive us to keep trying again? No matter how much the last relationship hurt us, it seems we didn't learn enough from it not to try again. It doesn't matter if we were beat,cheated on, abused. Something drives us to try again. Are we all just crazy?

No,we just all are human and have natural, intrinsic desires! We are not meant to be solitary, self-contained units, so we are naturally geared to seek our "other half."
There will always be posers who say it's all about the sex, but it clearly is not. We want someone to share life with, throw a leg over while we sleep at night, have holidays with, someone to help with the trials of everyday living and heck, even help with errands.
We are desiged, by nature from God, to have a partner.
I imagine those who want kids have even more to say about the issue.

Bottom line~ we keep pressing on because love is an amazing thing, and once felt, it is a drug we want back in our system.
