Understanding the Trade-Offs in Relationships

Sometimes it's easy to say that something is only temporary, but sometimes it can be hard to let go. When we break up with someone or leave a situation, we might miss the good parts and forget about the bad. This is because the reward we felt doesn't fade away, but the punishment does. It's like when we say we'll never drink again after a night of partying, but then we do it again the next weekend. Punishment loses its effect over time. On the other hand, when we think about past relationships, we tend to remember the good times because the punishment associated with them fades from our memory. But when we actually go back to those relationships, we quickly realize why we left in the first place. So, we should consider if the trade-off is worth it before going back to something we left behind.
