I think as Cindy pointed out....how can you define a successful relationship?
Maybe it lasted a night, a week, a month or several years. Does the LENGTH of the relationship determine it's importance or even fulfillment?
Maybe relationships are like taking pain killers.....you don't have to take them forever for them to represent in your life what they need to represent for the time you needed the representation. It's doesn't minimize their value.....or their effect.....it just means you may come to a path in the road when you know longer feel they are beneficial. Beyond that ... perhaps you even realize they are the ball and chain holding you back from moving on.
