Nobody truly wants to be alone. Human beings will tolerate disrespectful behavior from their supposed soulmate because of that desperation. However, companionship is a risk for everyone, but the reward can be joyous and priceless. Real-life relationships are not like the scripted television shows or movies. It can destroy and inspire at the same time.
Although we will always have a beginning and an end, the journey can make or break you. Good luck!
