True. Even if the relationship is perfect, if your loved one is hurt emotionally or physically it will cause you some measure of pain (or at least it should). If they go away on a long trip, you will miss them (causing a type of emotional pain). And of course any minor fight (no relationship is perfect) will cause pain. That doesn't mean the relationship, and love in general, isn't worth becoming vulnerable to this pain.

Philosopher Alain De Bottom has a lot to say on this. He often points out that it's widely accepted that we learn how to love in childhood, and that we repeat patterns in adulthood. When we pick a partner, we often choose someone who is familiar, or "makes us suffer in a familiar way". Nearly everyone has some deep issues, and when you're close with someone, they're exposed to all of those issues. Hence pain.

Soulmate or convenient lover?
I've come to terms that my soulmate does not live near me. If you're looking for love you're shouldn't stick to your vicinity because you're looking for convenience not really love. I'd rather pick love.

I'd have caught so many cases
Those moments that make you think: "You are so lucky I'm not the person I used to be"
