Good question. One I am struggling with right now too. Although our relationship is bliss when we are together, I feel that logically it will not last. Distance and differences seem to doom the future. What’s a girl to do?

hm it would depend on the manner of ending. If you truly loved eachother you would find a way to stay together in the end.
I wouldn't do a mediocre relationship. I want more than mediocrity for myself.

If you could have an outstanding relationship for a year (or two or five) KNOWING that it must end then, would you take it?

Would you prefer to have a more mediocre relationship (or none at all) than to have a great but shorter-term relationship?
I have had a couple relationships that were outstanding and lasted 1.5 and 3+ years. Their endings were devastating to me. To have an outstanding relationship and KNOW it was going to end would be too painful for me to consider getting into. Actually, knowing that would cast a sadness over the relationship and make it less than outstanding anyway.

I do not want a mediocre relationship that could last forever, either. If those are my only two choices in life, I would rather stay on my own, alone.

I chose a higher goal for myself... an outstanding relationship to last the rest of our days.

Great Short Term >> Long Mediocre >>>>>>Long Unhappy

Long term happy relationship is unfortunately the exception & not the rule. My envy goes out to the people who are in one, but there just ain't many around. Too much working against it, & very little for it

My first post so beware.
Why would anyone not want something that was good for even a short time rather than mediocre for a long time?Why settle for second best when the top of the mountain is so close?Is it the destination or the journey that we enjoy? Give me the good any day!
