It is highly possible that someone can be a part of what helps you 'be happy'.
BUT
No one can force you to be happy if you aren't happy within yourself.
And if you're dedicated to focusing on unhappiness, no other person can fix that for you either. And sadly, I have a feeling that a bunch of people are being pushed, pulled, and dragged into focusing on the negative in everything. It can happen to anyone because life can be hard. But some folks? Shiiiiid, I don't know how anyone can bother with them in any real doses.

8. "if im a miserable POS her being around isnt gonna change that" In response to Reply # 0
she can lighten my load and make me feel better but ultimately i gotta get to the root of my own shit. she can certainly help me with that journey but that still narrows down to me figuring out why im a miserable POS and solving that equation.

If you love your SO there should be a sense of happiness that comes with sharing that love. It does not mean you will be happy 24 / 7 but if there is no sense of happiness then you should question the love.
