there's no happy medium.

my roommate and i often get involved in these intense nightly discussions. ok, maybe they're not intense, but they sure do occupy our time very well...

tonight it was about relationships. [yes, that's a freqent one] there are just so many things we try to understand&analyze. tonight i brought up the fact that there's no happy medium. my roomie and i are very free and individual and we don't need a relationship to define who we are. we enjoy being single and not being held down. so i was thinking about relationships... 2 kinds; the smothering, overbearing type and the distant, you-do-what-you-gotta-do-and-i-do-what-i-gotta-do type. so which do you prefer? i definitely don't enjoy smothering or being smothered in a relationship. but then when you think about it... if both people are given all the freedom they want, someone is still unhappy. too much time together=unhappy. not enough time together=unhappy. so where's the happy medium!? it just doesn't exist in relationships, does it? someone is always going to be unhappy... and someone is always going to have to compromise. i understand that's the basic definition of a relationship... but i don't think it should be like that. so if both parties can't get what they want out of a relationship, why be in relationships?
