And y'all judging a bit harshly. After your second or third relationship falls apart or goes up in flames (occasionally both) the hopelessness sets in and you kinda hafta make a choice. Build up the walls and just accept things or put significantly more time and energy into searching for more relationships.
I cannot genuinely fault anyone for choosing the former. That's what I'm doing, after all.
