oh i agree with what you say, there are many people who are missing something that never think about others. but if you do think about others in that way, there has to be something causing it.

Good point, sperosi. We have that huge tendency to veer to the wrong direction. As imperfect individuals, we are all susceptible to this dreaded corruption of the mind and heart. It takes a lot of strength to stay focused and remain unstained.

I agree with you on some point that there is always A REASON which CAUSES someone to think about others in such manner. GOOD and open communication takes a great part in addressing such problem. Next is addressing the root cause of the problem as soon as it has been pin-pointed. Both partners should be proactive in this process. Now, when the other is not willing to take that proactive role, the relationship is doomed to be dissolved. This is a scary avenue for me to think about, honestly.

we always believe that something else, anything else, has got to be easier, better, more fulfilling.

it very rarely is

Human nature - not being content of what we have! It is sick! We need to make a conscious effort to change this predetermination.

Most people are probably missing something in their relationship: no one is really the perfect partner. People stray to get the thing they are missing - without thinking that they will give up all the other things they have.

Well, I have found the grass greener as it relates to a few people just like some lawns really are greener than others... oh, and there is also the fact that some grass is much cooler, softer and more pleasing to walk barefoot in or lay in that other types of grass...

Baja, you always make sure to veer the other way...when I say red, you tell me black! (Just messin'). You opened a can of worms - but that's also true.
