I agree with these core sets of beliefs you describe.
I think that for me, (1) I am comfortable with negative feelings, therefore it is easy for me to ignore them in order to do what is right. I guess, i have a high tolerance for dysfunction. (2) i recognize that we are doomed regardless of whether we are married or not, so why not follow our committments (to me the commitment is really what I based my actions on (3) i grew up with strict consequences, and thus have always avoided irresponsibility. I have never been the type to go chasing after flowers.
Not what your getting at, I know.
What I am working on is recognizing that it doesnt have to be doom and gloom. And that I do need to live in a way where I am appreciating what i do have.
