I consider investing in a relationship to be a high risk high reward type thing.
You get into an intimate relationship and if it works, it can be one of the best investments in your life, yet if it doesn't work, it can also be one of the most painful experiences. The risk is even higher for those of us who have had to endure significant hardships in our lives.
Personally, I don't like taking risks, especially when said risk has the possibility to cause long term damage to my mind and health.
I pass on relationships.
