We hurt the ones we love...

...but only while they let us. Let's get back to the Sexual Stock Market, shall we.

I have watched a lot of my friends' relationships come and go, and there is one truth that always comes out. Someone is always the giver, and someone is always the taker. Truth be told, each partner is both a giver and a taker, but by the end of the relationship, there is always a clear indication of how those ratios were actually split. Typically, relationships end when the giver has run out of goods, thus resulting in the taker deciding to skip town (or getting kicked to the curb) to look for new markets to exploit.

I recently just saw someone I know end a very lengthy relationship. Why? Well, she couldn't bear the costs anymore. Her ROI was simply non-existent. And why did he think he could continue exploit her? Because he didn't think there was any competition. Unfortunately for him, the marketplace is wide open, filled with gentlemen suitors ready to make good on a lovely, intelligent lady's investment in them.

So... who's left in your rolodex now, my friend?

So what happens when the taker comes back after the curb-kick with a counter offer?

Interesting thought, espia. I find it's always best to move forward, never backward. If life puts someone back in your path in a forward motion, you'll know. But as long as you feel you're going "back," then you are, hence you shouldn't. Look around you, espia.. I trust there's a lot of love to be had. And we have to be strong at times like these (when we feel quite weak).

On a similar note.. and more in keeping with the post. Just because we hurt the ones we love, doesn't mean we love the ones we hurt. (whatever that means... it made sense to me for a moment, but that moment is gone. I'll leave it up to you)
