Discussion»Questions»Human Behavior» Do you have a friendship or are you in a relationship that you know someday will end/might end, and you feel guilty about that realization?
The few relationships I have, other than here, will mostly end with someone dying. I will not feel guilty unless I accidentally kill them. The relationship I had with my sister and her husband is kaput due to something they did and said. Too long a story to go into.
Yeah. I am in a new relationship, and yes one day it is going to end. Guilty? No. She might get bored of me tomorrow or next week. That's just the way things are. I just enjoy it while it lasts.
No, not an actual breakup, but one of those situations where over a period of years, I've increasingly had less and less contact with an old buddy of mine, such to the point that neither of us is interested in maintaining it. I've come to the realization that it's fizzled out. It's very astute of you to have picked up on that. ~
Entering any relationship involves a level of trust. Right at the beginning you start to question whether this is going to blow up in your face, and if its worth the risk! For me in a LDR, I tried to just keep us friends but it was way more important than that! Though he is still my best friend. I have come to doubt there is any way for us to be together in the same place, that would allow us to be a real couple. But I have decided to take our relationship whatever way I can, as there is no one more perfect for me in the whole world!
Yes...I've had several on again/off again friendships and they've always had that feeling that they are only hanging by a thread. It's hard to imagine them being lasting but yet at times I'll find myself trying to rekindle them. Maybe they are more lasting than I think. Just not in the capacity that I am expecting.
Well anything that has a beginning has an ending. So up to us to enjoy whatever relationship we are in and appreciate the hell out of it while we have it. No reason to feel guilty unless something we are actively doing is causing its end. And even then we must ask OK is this something I really want to continue or is it just not worth continuing?
Guilt and regret have been a part of my life for a long time and I'll continue to regret and experience guilt as I lay dying in the street. That is what awaits me.
