What holds relationships together? Sex, or love?
Listing the phases of a relationship:
When you first meet her, you're excited about scoring new cooter. You may not be 100% into her personality, but you're getting NEW COOTER! That's all I can think about at least.
So she might drag you along for a few weeks, or a month before she gives it up. Hopefully it won't be longer than 24 hours or so though, and then you can sample the goods. But I can't let the girl go without getting some, or else it's a waste of a perfectly good girl.
Then you're settling into tapping that ass. You tap it in the morning, the afternoon, and at night before you go to bed. The thought enters your mind that she kinda annoys you, but at this point you can't really live without the cooter. So you keep her around.
6 months goes by, and you're questioning the longetivity of the relationship. Honestly I took an entire 6 months to SEE THROUGH the cloud of deception that sex puts in my mind. Sex and love began to seem as if they were one. But I guess reality started to set in when I realized I was falling asleep when she was talking to me, and it was kinda like listening to white noise on the radio. I couldn't remember anything we had talked about because for some reason I just couldn't get myself interested in anything she had to say. I'd forget plans, and most of the time I just couldn't care less. That's not a healthy relationship in any regard.
So I ended it. I know there's a TON of people out there that find someone, have sex, and get locked into the aforementioned cycle. It's not really too easy to break out of. And it's not even easy to see that there's problems in your relationship. Who wants to think they don't really love the person they're with, anyway? And who would admit that to the girl they're with, much less themselves?
Now I'm not saying sex is a bad thing in the least bit. I can't live without it, and when I'm in a relationship I better be getting it or I won't be there for much longer. But sex in a bad relationship is kinda like trying to see the problems in your life when you've got a drug problem.
But the question remains: What keeps a relationship together? I know a lot of guys get together with a new girl for the benefit of having sex with a new girl. Do you stay together for the benefits of having sex? And would you actually be able to figure out if your relationship completely sucked at that point?
