Dopers with horrible relationships - why do you do it.

Some people aren’t happy unless they are miserable.

That sounded ridiculous when I first heard it, forty-some years ago. Not so much now.

One of our follow dopers once observed about people bitching about thier jobs:

@RickJay

Don’t be fooled into thinking that people bitching about their job constitutes hating their job. People have a certain about of bitching and moaning inside them that has to be expelled before they die. No matter how good a person’s life is, they have a preset Whining Rate that they have to keep up. If a real professional whiner were given $25 million, a mansion, free boats, servants and exemption from taxes for the rest of his life, six months from now he’d be complaining that his car-servant doesn’t wax the Lambourghini right and his Thursday hooker’s blowjobs are getting a bit predictable.

But you could replace “job” with “spouse” and it still kinda works.
