If the sex is good, what you think is a "bad relationship" might just be an okay an okay one in both individuals minds.

Flash has a point. BUt oftentimes you get out of bed & realize that's all there is between you.

 

[Chris Wallace]

They don't. They move from one to another.

In other words:

Sex wouldn't be good for me if that's all we had. I need to be emotionally connected to someone to continue having sex with them. But I have been in a terrible, awful relationship. The sex wasn't good, but we thought we loved each other. The bad was one-sided; my side. So I eventually had enough and ended it. But I should have months prior. There's no explanation other than love. And that doesn't even explain anything. It makes no sense.

Now, obviously, people stay in bad relationships for their kids, for the money or because it's easy. None of which serve as worthy reasons, though. If it's terrible, get out of it. It's that simple, but it's not simple to do.

I agree with that statement.
