I didn't use to ask myself those types of questions before The D.
I use to just allow myself to get swept up in that feel good feeling and bask in the warmth of companionship. And I use to block out anything that interfered with that feeling and went to great lengths to see what I wanted to see b/c well we all want to love and be loved - what harm can a few little white lies I tell myself really do...
There is also that feeling that if you lose this one - there isn't anyone one else out there. That it is better to compromise with the one that you have than to risk having no one.
These are fears we all have. I have learned that it is better to release the R's that aren't working - it is the only way to make room for the ones that do work. It has worked for me with respect to friendships and I am starting to believe that it may just work with potential P R's as well...
Anyway, I am rambling on and on about my perspective based on my own experiences. These may or may not apply to you.
