It could always have been worse, I could've been married to her.

I think I have turned a corner today. I thought about the totality of my last romantic entanglement. For all their upsides there was a giant downside. She was unpredictable in how she would respond to the same actions from day to day. Even the the best times she was hard to count on for certain reactions.

 

I thought about that as I was driving and it occurred to me. Suppose I had been married to her. At least the way things are now I can just walk away and never have to deal with an erratic and unstable element in my life. They weren't evil or terrible overall. There just have to be people in the world with the qualities she has that I like who are more in control of their emitions and their reactions to their emotions.

 

At least I am not married to, or have a child by, or live with this one.

 

That makes it so much easier.

Coming from someone that had all sorts of entanglements in the past, yep, could have been a lot worse. The faster you can get someone out of your life at the end, the faster you can start the healing process.

 

Back then I would think "thank goodness I didn't marry her".

Especially if they are the kind that can't handle conflict or break ups in a non-dramatic way.
