And no, it doesn&#8217;t have anything to do with their technology. You simply need to find out if there is dating on their planet. If they didn&#8217;t have dating, it is proof they are a far more evolved species.<\/p>\n<p>Translation:Dating can really suck!<\/p>\n<p>People can stay in a bad relationship longer than they should because fear of the pain of dating seems scarier than the pain of a bad relationship. So, people prefer to cling to the familiar \u00a0&#8211; even when it&#8217;s painful &#8212; rather than stretching themselves with the hope of expanding their happiness.<\/p>\n<p>Before I encourage you to take the leap into the great unknown, I want to encourage you to take a good look at where you&#8217;re at right now. And I don&#8217;t mean looking at your partner through a magnifying lens. I mean looking at yourself in the mirror.<\/p>\n<p>If you break up with your partner without really looking at yourself in the mirror, you could be on your way to duplicating your love problems in your future relationships just like in\u00a0<em>Groundhog Day<\/em> \u2014over and over.<\/p>\n<p>Remember: You are the common denominator in all your relationship problems. Wherever you go, your pesky repeated issues go until you shed a blazing light of insight upon them.<\/p>\n<p>In my newest article up on <strong>OPRAH<\/strong> today, I offer 8 empowering insights to help you decide if you should break up or make up.<\/p>\n<p>Join me over at <strong>OPRAH<\/strong> now by clicking the link below &#8212; and be sure to comment your beliefs on the differences between <strong>DEALBREAKERS<\/strong> and <strong>DEALBENDERS<\/strong> up on the site!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oprah.com\/relationships\/Break-Up-or-Make-Up-Karen-Salmansohn\/1\" >Feeling stuck in your relationship?
