i dont get it.

the other day i was watching dr. phil (i know i know) and the subject was engaged couples who don't belong together. they were cheating on each other and disrespecting each other and generally being awful people. so it makes me wonder why people get themselves into these situations.

i really dont understand. you dont HAVE to be with someone.. and why be with someone who you dont respect/doesnt respect you. is avoiding loneliness really that important that you'd seek happiness with someone who obviously isnt right for you?

on valentines night i was at the bar and a guy was throwing himself at me. he was 38 and married. and in his throwings i asked him, why arent you at home with your wife? he says to me "she's mad at me" its 8PM on valentines day and you're at a bar trying to pick up a 23 yr old, i wonder why she's mad at you.

he said he's been married for 2 years. i feel like that time is still supposed to be spicy and interesting. not to say that if he'd been married for 10 yrs that he should be out kicking it..

but.. all in all i just don't get it.
