That's your perspective, sometimes there is a reason you don't see ;).

As there is a reason for a simple truth told as men's joke in my part of the world:

Q: Do you know why divorces are so expensive?
A: Because they are worth it!

Whatever the reason is I cannot see, it's pretty shitty when a lifelong
friend acts like a total stranger when you run into them in public with their
girlfriend. If you cannot say hi to a friend or acknowledge their
existence, I hope it's worth destroying a friendship.

I have already seen that happen, just the way you describe.

Statistics make the argument: romantic relationships are NOT likely to last,
specially in these days when relationships are so shallow. Chances are half thecomitted relationships will end up in divorce. Meanwhile, friendships tend to
be a lasting thing. If you crush a friendship for the sake of a romantic
relationship you are destroying something that took a lot of effort to built
and had a lot of potential for something that will likely break in the medium
run.

Are you saying don't marry a friend? Don't have sex with your friend? Don't
make friends with someone your not attracted to? WHat?

I am saying it you get into a romantic relationship, you musn't overinvest in
it to the point you lose friends you already had.

I say this because I see this often and it rarely ends well. The romantic
relationship ends and then you are left without romance and without friends.

Hmmmm..... is it possible that the romantic relationship ends *BECAUSE*
you didn't "overinvest" in it? Or, perhaps didn't invest *enough*
because you were being careful to not overinvest?

Methinks that is not only possible, but likely.

The relationship will crash if you don't invest enough in it (for good reason).
Still I know a bunch of cases of people who clearly overinvest and then get
dumped, or used up until there is nothing to take advantage of.

Relationships are an investment, so don't spend more on them than you expect toget.

They are turbulent times and assets in the market are very low quality.
Preserving your capital is primordial. It is not worth wasting it in high-risk
operations.

In a good relationship you can be yourself. You give and take. If you have
to abandon all you have to appease somebody, it sounds like a lopsided
relationship. Are you being loved for who you are, or are you trying to fit
in to some expectation that is not real?
