Scared or scarred?

I am so confused.

Two people. Very much alike. Very much in love. But can't be together. Not by situation. But by choice.

You see, they're so happy when they're together. And it's really obvious. When they're together, no one else around matters. As in no one. They act as if they're in a world of their own. Just the two of them in one tiny island. No other inhabitants. Free to do as they please. And they act like this is at a big table, at the bar, with a dozen friends. Hello? Define SOCIALIZE.

He loves her. And I assume she loves him, too. I've talked to them both. (aha! hindi pala ako ito!) The reason: They can't be together because they both agree that the relationship won't work. That it's bound to fail, one way or another. Doomed from the start. Now how they deduced this, is far from my mind. Maybe it's because they've both been through other failed relationships and the pattern from their previous ones seem to be glaring. (I'm guessing, actually)

But they love each other. One is willing to take the risk and go through it. There's a big probability that it won't work. But there's also the probability that it can. Minute as it is, it's still a probability. And that person is willing to go through it. Pain and all.

The other isn't too keen. It will fail in the end, so why go through the process? Why risk it?

Now, they're apart. And both miserable.

Why make a joint decision where both of you will be unhappy in the end? At least one of you has to be happy, right? How do you say it's for the best when no one really benefits?

Risk it. Take chances. Suffer the repurcusions if any. In the end, even if you fail, you know you tried. And you live your life without regrets.

And there is always happiness in that.

Ok, I feel like being serious today. In my opinion, based on what you have written, it's best they don't push through. You mentioned that one of them isn't too keen right? So it really won't work. The relationship will never work if one of them will be half-hearted. So those two made the right decision. Naks serious!

How can it be a right decision if the two of them are miserable from being apart?

At higit sa lahat, bakit serious ka? Haha!

It's hard to tell what's right and what's not. But I am certain that the consequence of their action is within their hands.

The possibilities are not endless. They may make it work or they may not.

It is a risk. Is it worth it? Only if they are happy more than they are miserable.

Why is the relationship doomed to fail? That's what they should be talking about. :)

if i were in the same situation, id do the same. the pain of being apart from each other now is less than the possible pain of taking the risk.

minsan lng din ako seryoso...pag nakakarelate. hehe.
