I would never say relationships are not complicated- I think ALL of them are complicated. What is not complicated is that to stick out a marriage you have to be willing to compromise, work hard, and stick out situations you never imagined when you were in the infatuation phase of your courtship. It is that commitment that I see lacking in many people. I would be the first to say a woman (or man) should leave an abusive relationship- but a woman or man who leaves one relationship like that, and then chooses another partner like that, probably has a problem requiring therapy (imo). So while I think everyone deserves to fail once at things, if you fail more than once at the SAME thing, and don't seek help, you're arrogant or ignorant. Maybe Rudy has had extensive therapy wrt relationships, and has realized he has problems dealing with people- if he has, I haven't read about it, but that is the kind of self awareness that would make me like him better. I think people make the biggest mistakes when they are acting blindly, in matters that touch on personality faults of which they are unaware. We all make mistakes, but I think successful people look at each mistake for clues, with which they can build a future with fewer mistakes. I worry when I see people with a history of repetitive mistakes/crises.
