Well, when you get into a r/s, you are also taking a risk. So
there is always a possibility that you will get hurt, that the r/s
won't end with a happy ending, even though of course that's what we
all wish for.
But we all strive to keep it going...r/s is not easy work, I can
assure you of that. It needs a lot of efforts to keep it going. So
if you are afraid of hard work and getting hurt, maybe you are not
ready to get into one.
So I guess we can only try our best and keep in mind that the
possibility of it ending badly is there. Don't be scared of that
possibility, because how would you know whether it will work out or
not unless you try? Being skeptical is one thing, but don't let it
keep you from getting into a r/s just because you are afraid you
will become another number in the statistic of broken r/s or
marriages.
