Can a comfortable relationship survive?
| Fri, 03-05-2004 - 1:48am |
My boyfriend and I have had alot of disagreements and situations in our relationship of 2 years. Our biggest trial in our relationship was his cheating on me. We worked through it and continued on making our relationship stronger. But, no matter what neither one of us leaves the relationship. I know I stay b/c I love him, and I am comfortable with the relationship. I asked recently him why he continues to stay through the arguments and everything else that happens. His response was b/c he loves me and does not want to lose the time we have invested in our relationship. So we are both staying b/c we do not want to go out and find someone else or start again. Should we stay in a relationship b/c we are both comfortable? Can a relationship last in this manner and survive into a lasting marriage?

It is a personal decision - I know people who marry for love, for stability, to be with their best friend, for financial reasons - it is whatever makes you sure that you can maintain your marital commitment - no one can tell you that comfort is a bad reason, just whether it would work for them.
