Why Pulling Out Won't Work
We've all heard over the course of this long war...well at least since President Bush appeared on the deck of an aircraft carrier with a "mission accomplished" banner waving proudly in the sea breeze that we need to "pull out".
Being one of the many that are "in" right now, I think it really might be a good thing to discuss the merits and the down side of "pulling out".
"They" say if we "pull out" now then we won't have any problems in the future with our current partner.
Not so, according to "experts", "pulling out" is not a reliable method to achieve the desired result. In fact if one "pulls out" too early there is no real effect for anyone involved regardless of the effort expended. If one "pulls out" too late, you have a real mess on your hands or even worse a problem that could last years, sometimes as long as 18 or so. This leads to more problems with the partner than you may have had in the first place.
"They" say if we "pull out" then we won't have to expend all this wasted energy to a cause that is in effect usless.
Not so, because if we "pull out" before the desired conclusion, then we will just have to expend effort somewhere else either right away or at a later time. It only makes sence to stay in and finish what you started in the first place.
To "pull out" generally accomplishes nothing other than aggrivating all the parties involved and in the end causes more trouble than its worth.
It would be better to have a "plan" where everyone involved can get what they want and in the end, when a "plan" has been executed, the desired result can be achieved without "pulling out" too soon. Having a "plan" helps insure that all parties involved get what they really need. But having a plan also means that you act like an adult and be serious about what you are involved with.
Remember this isn't something you do just for fun, there are lives and futures involved here.
Pulling out isn't the answer...ask any un-wed teenage mother.
