How can one continue to maintain a positive attitude towards relationships when there is so much stuff going on that will only jade your visions?

I have found myself more often than not being a silent observer from the side lines… admittedly, I will discuss situations with others, but when it comes to relationships, it is almost impossible to get involved.

I have two really good friends… they have been together in a relationship for a fair while now, I think approaching 5 years? I love them both quite dearly – but their relationship is eating them both up inside, and I am not the only one that admits this. They just aren’t meant to be together, but they are so comfortable that I could not imagine it ending without a hell of a lot of drama. It’s not as though this is the only relationship that I witness as failing as well… it seems as though we all know of a few people who are in this predicament, and I constantly find myself asking – why do people put up with this, when surely they must know it is not the best?

I would never say anything to either of them about this, as it is not my place, but I can still express my concerns… its just getting to the stage where I cant stand to be around them both alone, because they will most certainly have a fight, and make me feel most uncomfortable… I really don’t like that… I guess I will sit tight and observe… and if they confront me as to why I haven’t been around lately, I think it’s probably best if I tell them that they make me feel uncomfortable… this probably wont change anything, but maybe, just maybe they might open their eyes, and realise that they are better off without each other.

To some extent, i really wish someone stepped in with me and my ex when we were together... surely someone must have seen what the situation was. Its rediculous how Love can blind you, because i was absolutely smitten with this girl, and i really thought she loved me back, but i was nothing to her, and i really would have appreciated knowing that a lot earlier, because effectively it was a waste of a good portion of my life... while i was with her, i was a happy guy, evidently, i could have been much happier.

I think i can confidently say that this is my peaken most happiest time of my life right now... and i am still quite single, as i have said before, there is a part of me that craves a girl i love to fall asleep in my arms... but observing all the failed, failing, turbulent, and troubled relationships in my life, i find myself asking at this point in time... is it really worth all of the heart ache???

People with no emotions are able to get along in life without fear of guilt or reprisal... ignorance is bliss... you have to step all over people to get anywhere in life...

I suppose i am writing this for self validation... do i continue to wear my heart on my sleeve?

Or is it more beneficial to adhere to cool and calculated methods of dealing with people???

Oh the predicaments.
