The main question is, why do people do what they do? After observing people for a long enough time, and familiarizing myself with their habits, I must say I agree with a certain philospher who shall remane nameless, but needless to say that essentially people are driven by the need to feel pleasure and escape pain. This operates from the most basic level (ie; catching yourself in a fall to prevent injur) to it's more complex levels ( getting in a relationship because you believe that is the way you will alieviate the problems in your life). Whether people realize it or not, they adjust their thought processes to support that they are either increasing pleasure or decreasing pain in any given experience. I shall use an example, though he/she shall remain nameless, but I know who this is (merely for the sake of reference on my part, a bystander should ignore that last a statement). A young man/woman falls into a relationship. Their life, prior to the relationship, was in something likable to a wreck. This person sought a relationship as a refuge, believing it was the cure all for their alements. This person began to see their partner in the relationship as a savior, the one person who completed them and made their life better. Of course, what happens when life continues to get hard? The "cure all" is blamed, and the relationship eventually fails.
Don't get me wrong I feel that relationships, when properly utilized, have a wonderful effect. Unfortunately people do not take into account all possiblities in a relationship. They see only one side of it. How unfortunate. Ah well, that is all for now...
