They Say Love Doesn't Hurt... Is That So?

 Club Wonder Why...

Why do I ask that? I've seen so many times where there's a couple... you know: happy, in love, completely indulged in one another, can't get enough of being around each other, BFF types? Where one partner goes, the other is sure to follow. Fight-free. And last, but not least... TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
    Interestingly enough, there are those that just get along like that, but I've come across the ones where I go, "Ah-HA! I KNEW IT!" Well- I say it inside my mind, not really out loud, but totally wanted to. Reason being is because there have been times where I find myself single and everyone else surrounding me is either in a relationship, married, or bound to be. Sounds silly to even care, but sometimes I do. Secretly wishing that someone would just get into a fight and not want to be around their mate and just hang out or go out with me. Again, I never say this out loud, totally my thoughts.
    Anyway, I have this single friend that informed me of her friend's divorce and what all had happened. Supposedly, one spouse cheated on the other as a way of getting out of the marriage. The other spouse was still willing to work it out, but the cheating one refused to make it work and was pissed off that the cheating scheme didn't work, so to make matters even worse, the cheater kept on cheating until ol' faithful had had enough. Oddly, those that were close to them had never saw this coming. They felt that the couple was happily married and everything was going perfectly and couldn't imagine why this turmoil had unnecessarily come about. 
    Come to find out, the cheating spouse had had enough of the love and happiness and wanted some issues and drama. Weird, right? Yeah, I had said the same thing. I guess the thought of being "happily ever after" is overrated. I was informed by this former cheating spouse that when you're elated at all times in a marriage and your mind is idol, you forsee too much perfection. It seemed as if they'd never have a disagreement, debate, argument, make-up sex, or even a reason to forgive one another when nothing had ever went wrong. This was just way too much for someone who wasn't reaching for perfection.  And I honestly just don't get it.
   Me, being single, I've always dreamed of just finding that person that could be my best friend because the qualities that you'd typically seek in a best friend should also be those that you'd look for in a mate. Nobody's perfect, but when it seems that way, all hell breaks loose.
