Yup. More than mixing it up, I think I was just hoping it does. I'm just wondering, if relationships are so hard, is there something easier? Friends with benefits or something like that can be just as stressful depending on the partner. Oh people, such strange creatures we are.Noway, I think you're mixing up the fact that because trust is part of healthy relationship, it should be easy to do so.
There is something easier, and that's being alone. That's the perspective I used to take. But, on the flip side of healthy relationships being hard but worth it, being alone is easy but shitty. Trust me, as the high-school kid that had too much cynicism and sarcasm and assholishness than anyone should or could handle. Your perspective will probably change when you find someone worth trusting, in the same way people who say "I don't need a boyfriend/girlfriend" - because of constant rejection/an inability to reach out and ask someone out - find someone worth being in a relationship with.
