Painful vs Perfect

Life, love, relationships, are never perfect, always painful in some manner or another. The best relationships have survived the pain of separation, the pain of hurt, the pain of loss, pain caused by another. How we survive in life, love and relationships depends on how we deal with pain. If there is an expectation that there will never be pain, or that mistakes will never be made, then that is an unrealistic expectation. If running away from pain is the answer, then the relationship is doomed to fail. Nothing is solved in isolation, nothing is solved by running away, nothing is solved by failing to communicate. ....
