Reminds me of an acquaintance who was going on and on about all her multiple failed marriages and relationships. Later, someone snidely noted that the common denominator in all those romantic car crashes was her. She, although very bright, is completely blind to this possibility.
The fellow I alluded to above is on his third marriage.
I’ve been married but once, to the person I expect to remain married to for however much longer I’ll be drawing breath. But I had many a more-or-less “serious” relationship prior to my marriage. Those arrangements fell apart for various reasons, but in a few of them the cause was, at base, my own selfishness. I’d suggest to anyone trying to save a failing relationship to ask himself if the other party’s life is, on balance, improved by his presence in it.
