So, I was watching Nip/Tuck the other day and the current plot line involves a plastic surgeon, Christian and his beau, former porn star Kimber. The two have broken up and gotten back together throughout the series. The last breakup, resulted in Kimber becoming pregnant by Christian's son and marrying said son. And, Christian, thinking he had cancer married his best friend and anesthesiologist. Christian upon learning that the cancer alarm was false promptly broke up with his friend. Kimber in her first positive relationship of the series was dating a young doctor who made it readily apparent that he would've done anything for her. So Kimber, a jerk, left a perfect guy, 6 pack abs and total dedication to her. And, Christian left his best friend, the only woman who had seen past his total dirt bag ways, and even put her own interests aside to care for him and his son, when he was at his worst, throwing up from cancer medication, and unable to walk without severe pain.
The question I was left with, is do jerks always come back to one another? My story is strikingly similar. I am currently dating my best friend she is great for me and with me. We make a great team. With her I have accomplished more than I could have otherwise. Others who I have loved, remind me of the scene in Nip/Tuck where Christian took a line of cocaine off of Kimber's naked bum during a sexual romp. It was fiery, passionate, but altogether destructive.
But the question still remains, do jerks ultimately come back to one another? Leaving damaged otherwise perfect, and good people in their trail back to one another? If having to choose between a destructive but fun relationship and one that made sense, but just made sense without the accompanying "butterflies" and sensual passion that comes along with many destructive relationships-- which would you choose?-- Marital bliss with your perfectly logical mate-- or -- fleeting powerful emotions with a temptress?
