On "Moving On"

A friend sent me this blog post, and it seems that she must have only read the first paragraph, thinking that if I heard from someone else that I'll find "someone equally great or better," I might believe it. The fact of the matter is that, I completely agree with this author - only, I agree with the rest of the article: "When then, do you stop and say instead of searching for the perfect love, i'm going to make my love perfect?"

The author is a very smart person. They know full well that love isn't about everything being peachy-keen; it's about finding someone with whom you can work through your differences. Because every couple has differences.

When the shit hits the fan - and the shit always hits the fan at some point - what do you do? Do you abandon your relationship as a sinking ship? Or do you bail out the water, patch the holes and sail off into the sunset with your best friend and true love?

Personally, I'd do everything I could to make sure I didn't lose something great.
