Sex and the City

Why does a person still sleep with someone she knows she can't marry? Is it an addiction too hard to shake? Is it a hope that the person will magically become marriageable material? Is it an inability to be alone for a day? Maybe addiction causes denial of character flaws and blindness to bad treatment.

Of all the choices. Seeing this, rather than be with someone non-marriageable, I'd rather, in descending order:

Be with someone marriageable who loves me.
Not be with someone marriageable who loves me.
Not be with someone non-marriageable who does not love me.

Or, just be. Single. No ranking in the descending order of being.

It's better to not be able to be with someone you love, than to be with someone who sucks. Maybe it's just the sight of middle-aged little boys that annoys me.

Note that to be "non-marriageable", a person must have major character flaws, causing anyone who cares about the person involved to be unable to allow the person to marry him or her.
