The Ass Is Always Greener

AITOOW wonders if people in mixed couples know that their "mate" is seeking them out because they regard themselves as more like the people that mate usually dates? And they know that "mate" is more attuned to their personality quirks. And the funny thing is, the mate thinks he/she is getting something different. They are just getting the same model in a different paint job. And they will probably not run because they are used to that abhorrent behavior.
