Have You Dated Anyone For Lack Of An Alternative?

The Story

Hello everyone! It's about the following: You start an (intimate) relationship with a person, you like each other, in the beginning everything is OK, but over time you realize that you are not for each other. You still have feelings, but quarrels and quarrels become more frequent, which leads to a lot of nerves, temporary divisions, reconciliation and again. The reasons can be very different ... it all depends on what irritates you and what kind of character you are. Maybe your boyfriend looks at other girls or ignores you because of his friends, and your girlfriend refuses sex, is tight or a workaholic. Whatever you want, I'm sure everyone has something in that spirit. However, I do not mean infidelity, beatings and similar final executions, but a little more harmless things, which, however, irritate you frankly and seriously undermine your relationship. After many conversations you come to the conclusion that without each other you will be better off and your spouse agrees to separate for the common good. He / she loves you very much and does not want to cause you suffering. However ... you can't break up because you just don't have anyone else, you're desperate and lonely. No one else likes you, no one else has paid attention to you for years. You are terrified of loneliness and you are ready to swallow a lot of your principles just to not be left alone. You just don't have a choice - maybe you don't look good or you're not smart and funny enough, or you find it terribly difficult to make new contacts, no matter what the reason. The fact is that you only have that person who gives you love, closeness and support. And yes, if you had a more suitable "candidate", you would turn to him, but there simply isn't one and you don't believe he will appear. You've held on to this relationship like a straw drowning man, yet you've had a lot of good times together and you don't want to lose them, even though your relationship is terribly strained. You insist on getting together and making another attempt, promising yourself that you will close your eyes and grit your teeth for a higher purpose - not to feel infinitely lonely. You must be guessing it's about me. Our relationship is bad, the characters are very different, but he is all I have. Without him, I am doomed to loneliness and lack, and I have been there many times and for nothing in the world I do not want to go back. My relationship with him is a strange mixture of love, despair and addiction, but I am ready to endure. I would like to find someone with whom we get along better, but I don't even hope for that, so I've dropped this nonsense. So it would be interesting for me to share if something similar happened to you. How long did it last, what were the reasons, did you manage to cope, how did you feel? I'm not looking for advice, but I would be interested to read them too. Greetings!
