One time my good friend in high school was dating this attractive girl. Then he was in a play with this unattractive girl named Erin, and he started crushing on her hard and was thinking about leaving her girlfriend for this other girl. He pored over it for a long time, then ultimately never pursued it, and stayed with his girlfriend. They are still together to this day. Though he has cheated on her at least once that I know of. #TrueStories
