Ah, hell, I'm game ...
I remember thinking at age 15 that I had met my match for life.
Nearly 35 years later, I can say with confidence;
"Not so much."
I don't even much care for the term of 'failed relationship' any more.
Is it really a failure if both individuals come to recognize that they do not, or cannot meet each others needs?
Wouldn't it actually be a failure if they couldn't, or didn't come to that realization?
I do think that we should honor and value our commitments. I also believe that we should think differently about how and to whom we choose to make those commitments.
That said, at my core I'm a monogamous man trying to get by in a non-monogamous world.
But I absolutely recognize that it is an extraordinarily tall order to expect one person to meet ALL of the emotional and physical needs of another.
