| Tired of being let down...

Is it our expectations that lead to being let down? What if we lower our expectations... would we be able to dodge that feeling - or would it just make it easier to let us down? I once heard that it's expectations which make or break a relationship. I say it may be expectations which make or break our inner self.
If we expect a relationship to fail - and it turns out to be a good one, then we are pleasantly surprised, right? It stands to reason that we could say if we expect a relationship to succeed, and it doesn't - if we expect our lover to remain loyal and they don't - if we expect no lies or deceit and get it, then it's considered a bad relationship. You see, it's our expectations - because if we would have expected the relationship to fail - and it did - then we would be alright with it... we knew it was coming.
Wouldn't a life without expectations be boring? Wouldn't a relationship we expected to fail pretty much be lame? Where is the fine line between not getting your feelings hurt and not expecting anything? I guess that is one of the secrets to a happy life, huh? I ask a lot of questions, don't I? lol. What better way is there to make my point? -D'oh there's another one ~
Honestly I sit here and wonder why it is that my last relationship is still burned into my mind, into my soul. It was the longest I've ever been in a relationship - and the betrayal I got came from three of the most important people in my life at that time (and for a long time before that as well). Surely that's got a little something to do with it... but there has to be more.
What, did I not expect to ever be given the high and hard screwing by those closest to me? I've seen it done to others, why would I think that I'm immune? There I go with the questions again, huh? lol. Okay, so I'm not immune to some serious bullshit. What, did I expect serious BS like that only finds those that give it?
There's a line from a movie that goes something like this (and I'll never forget it) ---
Old man sitting at the table looking up at the younger man and says:
"You can't stop it. " ......
"No matter how hard you try.... You just can't stop it ... "
... now, that's vanity. "
Is it then, my vanity which made me believe that life somehow would pass me by?

IT really sux when you are the one who tries, completely - and on the other hand you have a mate who claims they try but don't. Keep on keeping on - the right one will make herself known someday brother.
