Need a bandaid for that infectuous relationship?

"Just because you love someone doesn't mean you have to be involved with them. Love is not a bandage to cover wounds."
-Hugh Elliott

I really like this quote. I may be interpreting it wrong, but to me it's saying that yes you may love someone, but just because it's hard to end the situation, doesn't mean you should continue to be with the person.

I once heard that you should only date someone for around 3 months; if you don't see the relationship going anywhere by then, you end it. How often do you hear of and see people in long relationships with no progress and they're stuck?! I think it's happening more and more these days. They stay together for far too long, that when the realization that it's not going anywhere appears, it's extremely hard to cut the cord.

So often we get involved with someone, fall in 'like' and are comfortable with the situation so you end up staying together. This undoubtedly leads to having far too many strings attached that when the time comes, it's hard to end the relationship that you've known all along wouldn't work out. Everyone wants to be with someone, feel loved and appreciated...right? But don't be selfish, be conscientious of feelings and quit fiddle-farting with their time and their heart!
