Why do relationships of any kind have to end in pain? I guess if they didn't then they wouldn't end.:(

IF you could answer that question you could make millions. Possibly they end in pain to give us incentive to try and sort things out?

A relationship does not have to end in pain.

It can end in anger.

It can end in apathy.

It can end by becoming a different type of relationship.

It can end with happy memories.

In my experience, the relationships that end in pain were never balanced relationships in the first place. And often were painful during their course, though one smooths out the rough edges due to comfort and familiarity while it is occuring.

Don't assume that all relationships end in pain. That's a generalization that can become a self-fulfilling prophecy if you believe it.

When I say pain I mean anger, frustration, sadness, apathy. Most that I've seen end ended in one of these ways. If they were happy then they continued in one form or another.

I do think you're right about the unbalanced part as well as the comfort part.

If experience has taught me anything, it's that it is better to have a relationship end, learn from it, no matter the emotional turmoil, and move on.

Much better than stringing oneself along in a relationship that is abusive or self-destructive.


I don't subscribe to such a broad definition of pain as you, but I can see where you are coming from.
