Don't skip reading this because it's longer than 2-3 sentences
Since this is the relationship forum, let's think about the two most contradictory "theories" for relationships. Maybe the word "theories" isn't quite... right for describing these two ideas, but just hear me out. In this forum, at least 80% (probably around 95%, but I'll give the benefit of the doubt) will obey the "reason" rule. They will find which solution to their problem is most "reasonable" and follow that choice. In reality, however, reason will be completely forgotten once emotion takes over. You think this is not true? If it's not, why are there so many cases of infidelities in the world right now? Isn't it "reasonable" to stay married to the same person so you do not jeopardize your life, and the lives of others that are involved in this relationship? (ie. kids) But that isn't the way reality works. Emotion takes over and soon you will find yourself waking up in the bed of your lover. That there, is emotion. Is there any reason for you to cheat on your husband/wife BEFORE getting a divorce? No. This also applies to relationships, and seeing how young this forum is... it most probably only applies to relationships and not marriage. Conclusion: Stop giving responses to ideas based on reason, base it on emotion. Disclaimer: I write this message purely for the enlightnment of the members of this forum and no one is forced to read and/or agree to it's concepts. |

SO true. I was thinking the same! People give me advice and stuff & I end up not doing what seems reasonable, I just do what my emotions tell me to do.
