There's nothing worse than the end of a long term relationship. No one needs that pain.

But...I'm always surprised to read something like this:

Surprised that anyone could consider a relationship wonderful or solid or perfect when one of the people in it is horrified, repulsed or otherwise turned off by who the other person really is. Trying to save a relationship like that seems more than a little masochistic to me. I'm on the side of those who feel the people in the relationship are more important than the relationship itself.

Yes, I have been in long term relationships, and yes I know how painful it can be when they end. But life is short, and it seems a little tragic to spend it with someone who doesn't like who you really are.
