Relationships from an Outsider's Perspective

I'm once again wondering why I've been toying with the idea of a relationship. A coworker, not to mention good friend of mine, has recently discovered some slightly "playful" discussions between her SO and another girl. She knows nothing has taken place between them, but she's still angry.

Perhaps it is from the viewpoint of someone who's been angry one time too many, but I don't understand the appeal of a partnership that leads to such emotional negativity. I know that people say that one must take the good with the bad, but I'm not sure if I could be so trusting in my anger. I commend my friend for being so set in her belief (though honestly, I have to believe that he's not screwed around just because he doesn't seem like the type, though my opinion may be biased since he's also a friend). I'm just not sure if I could be if I were in her shoes.
