Escalating Commitment, a managerial jargon that applies to all.

I wasn’t too concerned about having a crappy relationship until about a while ago,

when I witnessed how a few of my friends successfully self-healed after a breakup.

There are some lame reasons for keeping a relationship, as follows:

1) We have been together for so long. (and the total incidents we have gone through just outlast the fact that we are not happy anymore)

2) But its ok because we don’t live in the same city. ( I could just stay busy and ignore the fact that we are not happy with each other)

3) I am afraid I might miss him to death. ( There may not be another person who would put up with me than he had).

I saw a very good friend of mine this weekend, who previously made a critical decision in his life and shoved off inconsistency in other related areas. I am not sure if I see a happier person, but there is definitely more lively energy overall.

In a lot of ways, having a stable relationship is like, being stabilized and dead. The worst part takes place when your partner has been less and less appreciative of you. This is the new realization I am getting in these days. Or maybe not just in these days, it is long overdue.
