Never sleep with someone whose troubles are worse than your own.

About This Quote

Never sleep with someone whose troubles are worse than your own. If you’re in a relationship with a person who has a much bigger problem than you, then you’re going to have a hard time being happy. Anything that is going wrong in their life will affect yours as well. You’ll be dragged down with them and it will make you feel terrible.
