Idealism and realism can co-exist when you know where to draw the line. That is the responsibility of every idealist. When you are idealistic in the face of informed unrealism then you are no longer idealistic. You do the world a disservice with your choice to be ignorant rather than educated. Naivity is acceptable given the information to know is otherwise not available. Hence, if it is true that most people are with their partners for suffocated and unhealthy reasons, then to be idealistic one must accept this. In fact, in not accepting it, the naivity you choose to hold onto will eventually force you to give up idealism. Idealism can only exist in the long term with the full ability to accept the unfortunate circumstances of reality and still retain a modified idealism. Because whether you like it or not, reality will eventually prove itself to you. Hence, in addressing the dishonesty in a majority of the people, I attempt to promote the awareness that one should avoid such a circumstance and therefore seek to relieve themselves of insecurities so that they may love a partner as readily as another partner is willing to love them. Although it may seem negative in the short term, being aware of the negative world helps us preserve our idealism because then we have a choice. When it appears out of nowhere we have a much more difficult time deflecting what bad lessons the bad world will teach us. So now, anyone who reads this thread will be slightly more aware of the possibility that they dislike who likes them not because they are unworthy, but because of their own insecurities. This will help them become better people.
