"Well, from what I have seen, when you are in a serious relationship, it usually means that you have to give up something in order to gain something better in return. Kind of live investing in a project of sorts. And there are probably two ends of the spectrum: one, where it pays off royally, and the other, where you end up poorer than you began. Of course, a lot of shades and grades in between," Wraen shared her perspective, because during her life she had had to answer to similar questions. 

"But everyone makes their own choices, even if we do not understand them or if it is something we would never ever do ourselves," she added. "So... you may think that your mother has given up an exciting life, but she may think that having you and your siblings and a loving and wholesome relationship with her husband has been a great gain," it felt a little odd to talk about her sister in the third person, but even without introductions Wraen had already guessed that she was talking to one of her nieces. 

"And heartbreak is the price one pays for loving someone. You just do not think about it before you enter a relationship. Or a friendship. I think that it is meant to be enjoyed, while it lasts. And, if you happen to be the one to lose, you endure the pain, when that time comes," she said. "I think that to you - and this is an old person advice and opinion that you are free to dismiss and ignore - it is a bit too early to make such black and white decisions. At least do not stick to them too strictly. You may not know, what life will bring your way or what you will end up liking," she smiled.
