Change please!
So I've heard it a million times, hell I've even said it a million times, you can not change someone who isn't willing to change! I mean sure you can try to make your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife be someone else, but there's a pretty good chance that they are not going to change and an even better chance that they will end up resenting you for trying to make them.
This whole thing got me thinking about relationships and why people stay in situations that they shouldn't. Before I go any further let me say that I am guilty of this. As an adult I have never been single...I seem to go from one bad relationship straight into the next. I'm constantly staying in relationships that I have no business being in and I don't know why that is. It's not like I secretly believe that my fiance is going to wake up one morning and be Prince Charming, I know he'll never be everything I want him to be, hell he'll probably never even be close to what I deserve. But why do we stay in relationships like that? I mean of course there is the obvious fear of being alone, but chances are most of us won't end up lonely old ladies with 40 cats. But besides that fear of being alone what makes us stay in relationships that are not good for us? Why do some of us seem to always sell ourselves short and settle for less than we deserve? Answers are greatly appreciated as I am currently seriously contemplating life and why mine sucks ass all the time!

Been there, done that. There are times I feel like I am still doing it. Why? I have no idea... I know this isn't any help at all. I just wanted to make sure you know you aren't alone.
@dldjls - Thank you...and I'm very glad to know that I'm not the only one, but damn it sucks!
