REASONS WHY RELATIONSHIP DON’T LAST ANYMORE
Modern-day relationships don’t work because people talk about what they deserve, never about what they can give. Everyone wants a partner that communicates; nobody wants to be a partner that comprehends. People want love without sacrifice, compromise and service. Service in relationships has been reduced to oppression. Too much wokeness, stiffness and lack of kindness. We talk love, sing love and pay for love concerts, but we do the opposite. It’s all in our head — our spec, expectations and understanding of love; they’re too idealistic.

Nobody wants to fight to stay; everyone loves the idea of leaving at every slightest disagreement because we are deluded by the countless options we have. Men want feminine women and women want manly men, but we demonize masculinity and femininity every day.

We are intoxicated by our inflated egos, so we think we should never compromise; “don’t settle for less” — when we all have ‘less’ in us, and relationships only work with the acknowledgement of our ordinariness. We commercialize love and make it about 50/50 ratios instead of pouring ourselves without reservation. We are too calculated for people that end up giving nothing! I will never settle for less, yen yen yen. when you’re the less someone shouldn’t settle down with.

Everyone is enticed by the idea of having a great partner, and when they realize that even great people have dark weaknesses, they run. We want our lovers to be young, wealthy, sophisticated, eternally wise, accomplished, like they’re not real. Why do you want someone young but with the wealth and experience of our parents? We want good things without patience. Our lack of delayed gratification psyches us into believing that all that matters is NOW! If they’re not everything we want right now, they’re beneath us. We are too fickle, short-fused, arrogant, toxic, impatient and shortsighted.

When we finally get into relationships, we spend most time trying to market our love lives as content on social media. We end up spending more time creating content around the lies our twisted minds have believed, more than we do trying to build our relationships in the real world.

I’ve always viewed relationships as a room without doors/windows – whatever it is, we’ll sort it out. There’s no way out (except in cases of one-sided love and domestic vîoléncé).

In recent times, I’ve made it a point of duty to have conversations with my parents about relationships, marital life and commitment and it has been a wholesome journey; Learning from the ones who have been there for more than 40 years and still counting, is the best way to learn. I want to hear them talk about conflict resolution, communication, etc from the Point of view of both genders. I’m glad I started this.

For a generation that boasts about better knowledge, we are a failure. Our parents did better than us given their limited access to information. Bring back reality.
