No, I won't. I could find my happiness in other people, and these people don't necessarily have to be my lover. They could be my family or friends. I could also find happiness in what I do, like my job, which gives me a personal fulfillment. I've experienced being with someone whom I really didn't love. I stuck with him because I thought I wouldn't fall in love again after a bad break-up with my first boyfriend, who I loved with all my heart. I regret doing that now. It didn't make me feel better. On the contrary, it only made me feel trapped.

my answer is no..there's no point to stuck with somebody just because u afraid to be lonely,who knows by doing so, you also fending off some other guy whose potentially be the right person for you..
which explains why most lady prefer to have affair before breaking up with their current boyfriend..some sort of precaution measure I presume, to avoid being lonely :)

i hav experience such, but it was not really effective. it seemed am just lying to myself. well, it would really be nice if you stay in a relationship because you love it, coz you love your partner too.and that would assure you that you will never be lonely...
