The author reflects on a complicated relationship where kindness is present but fundamental compatibility is lacking. The writer discusses financial concerns, procrastination, and differing lifestyles that contribute to a growing sense of boredom and unfulfillment. Despite appreciating the love received, the author contemplates whether sticking with a nice partner is worth sacrificing personal happiness. The article emphasizes that it’s important to seek fulfillment and warns against remaining in relationships solely based on kindness, advocating for self-exploration and honesty about one’s needs.
Because kindness feels so hard to find in today's dating world, it feels so hard to part with. At least, that's my suspicion based on how many letters I get that basically amount to, "This dude and I don't work, but he's nice. What do I do?"
I just think that - after about seven months of sticky sadness - you'll be a whole lot more fulfilled by moving on. What is your one single life on this earth for if not being happy?”
The money is a nonissue because - theoretically, at least - it can be solved. In most cases, people don't inherit their parents' debts.
Don’t stay in a relationship with someone just because they treat you nicely, especially if you are not happy or fulfilled.
