The reason why is that I would like to have a relationship with a women, yet everywhere I look it just ends in catastrophe. People getting divorces, people having affairs, people more miserable then when they were. I even looked on some questions here and when people ask should they get a married couple back together even though they clearly love each other several people reply by saying no. What's the point of being in a relationship if it's just always going to end in tragedy?

Although these experiences have made me very very unhappy.. i do still have fond memories of when things were good (which i think is the point, and i am glad i felt like that in the past)... and think maybe you just have to keep trying and eventually you'll find someone who sticks and you learn from failed relationships- i'm 21 and so still optimistic! Although will be having a long break from any kind of 'love' for quite sometime now!

Not all relationships end in tragedy. Don't judge relationships from what you read on this site, take the site as an example of the different problems that can arise in a relationship.
I have quite a few friends that are in happy long-term relationships, but I also have friends that didn't do so well in love.
Relationships are part of life, and if both partners are willing to compromise to making things work, and open in their communication then usually things will work out.
