The myth of love conquers all

[clevermanka]

I read this last week and am just now getting around to posting a link to it. It's good reading. Written with a slight poly slant, but not at all applicable to relationships that only have multiple partners. A lot of it can also be applied to non-romantic friendships.

Thoughts on why some people are good for each other, why some people aren't, and why no, love isn't always all you need.

Thanks to ms_danson for giving me the heads-up on this one.

Great article, and I agree, universal in application. I would go so far as to say people are not nearly so thoughtful or selective when they are making non-romantic connections, and sometimes, those relationships can have pesky, lingering (if not disastrous) negative effects, too.

There is no such thing as closure (unless you make it from scratch yourself and accept it as valid), and love don't pay the rent.

Agreed, 100%.

Of course.
