And if I'm ugly then so are you...so are you

I give up I really really do.

How fed up are you of walking down the street and seeing someone really fit with someone really ugly?? How many times to do you meet a friend's partner and actually like them? I can't count how often that has happened on one hand.

There is some massive imbalance in the world, where good people are going out with bad people. I don't know if its something to do with Ying and Yang. Or these people had really good karma owing to them from a previous life. Or whether I am just far too idealistic to settle for someone with a singular flaw. No it's not me, it can't be. I'm perfect.

And how many times have you had your friend moan at you about how much of a knob their partner is only for you to get frustrated in the end and say 'well why are you with him/ her/ it?'

Do you notice how nobody ever gives these answers -

1. Because I'm too scared to be on my own.
2. Because I've just settled.
3. Because it's too much hassle. We share a house/ pet/ income.
4. Because they're rich.
5. I've invested so much time in this relationship that I'm not ready to give up because we're fast approaching the time where we can get married or have a baby and I want that more than I want somebody new.
6. We're going on holiday and I'm worried I'll be the one that has to miss out if we break up.
7. My partner's a homicidal/ suicidal maniac who has scared/ guilt tripped me into being with them.

Nobody (except Mr) has ever actually thought about the reason they are with someone. Most of the time you just get a whiney reply - 'Because I love them'. And if you ask why I bet...I bet you £1 million that 9 times out 10 they will reply in an even more whiney voice - 'I don't know, I just do'.

So people. I am fed up of hearing/ seeing you all walking about with your far too good looking or far too ugly partners and then having to listen to you whine about them. Either break up and readjust the balance or shut up and get on with it.
