Why bother?

I don't understand why people stay together in relationships that clearly are not working anymore. It frustrates me so much to see so many relationships struggle to work and they look miserable. At the end of the day, is it really worth it? I guess it's because I have learned a lot through the years. I was the person that I now hate. I stayed in a relationship for toooooooo long.

That's why I chose love as the central theme to my family project. No one in my family has ever been divorced, but no one is happy. I see so many unhealthy marriages in my family, that I do not understand the point of staying together.

In a way I am happy I was exposed to this because I refuse to ever do that to myself. It is such a waste of time, energy and emotional strain that could be avoided. Its funny because my own parents have been the perfect example of what I never want. I hate that finding a happy married couple is like finding a needle in a hay stack. Working at a pharmacy, I see a lot of older couples that come in that have been together over 50 years. It makes me so happy but at the same time saddens me that in today's society, that really is not realistic anymore,
