Some people are too broken to keep.

I've been reading various blogs off an on for a long time. Quite a lot have to do at least half the time with relationships. All of which have brought a question to the fore of my brain; what the bloody fuck is it with people and bad relationships?!

I know they happen. Pretty much anyone who gets involved with another person on an intimate basis is going to have at least one occasion when it led to grief or otherwise unhealthy ends. So why the hell is that some people seem to pursue them like Galahad sought the Holy Grail? Some people, although going through a hellacious level of crap, eventually seem to clue in and pay heed to warning signs. The ones that refuse time after time to deviate from their choreography of self-delusion and destruction drive me bug-fuck nuts. My tolerance for the latter ends more and more precipitously every year.

I've had some bad relationships. I had some real soul-crushers in there. I will not deny there has been a significant learning curve. But I have busted my ass to hold onto healthy, rewarding relationships and gain the skills to make those relationships possible in the first place.

So when I read a blog like Wegg's Pillowbook, it puts a major burr under my saddle.

This woman all but makes my penis an innie. I cannot imagine staying in a relationship with a girl like that. Reading her blog is a recurring litany of low expectations, callous use, and quiet hope that somehow things will improve without her effort.

She purports to enjoy sex, but does not seem to do anything to further her own enjoyment. Her statements pertaining to sex in general show a terrifying lack in her knowledge pertaining to biology and personal health.

Her relationships, however sarcastically narrated, are horribly one-sided on the part of her lover. And she seems to see this through the perspective that this is how relationships are. But wonders why she is less than totally giddy.

I could hope her blog was a complete work of fiction, but somehow, I doubt it. The boganish tendencies have too much internal consistency.

There's a reason there are only a few blogs I find worth reading.
