What is the difference between being comfortable in a relationship and being happy? If you are comfortable, why is it such a bad thing?
There are so many reasons I can think of as to why I would want to be happy rather than comfortable.
1. Once you find yourself comfortable in a relationship, you do not want to leave. You find it so hard to think you can do better because the thought of starting over with someone new terrifies you.
So you stay where you are not bursting with joy, but simply content with where you are and who you are becoming.
2. Being comfortable in a relationship means you know things will not get better but you are finally used to the arguments, used to him coming home upset every day and to the long nights you spend alone crying, while he sleeps soundly beside you.
3. Comfortable is knowing your family sees you unhappy and hoping that they understand why you stay and why you try so hard.
4. It is knowing you put far too much time and love into something to just walk away without a second thought because even if your heart is no longer with him, the time and energy you have spent on him are.
5. Stagnation is death to the soul, there is no growth, nothing proving that if we stay, we will be better together than we could ever be apart.
