RE: Find Your Real Valentine: Getting Yourself into the Right Relationship
interesting post.
it's possible human relationships are really not meant to last a lifetime.. maybe 4-10 years really.
So please keep in mind, marriage is possibly an outdated concept from another era that no longer exists, and it's nice to have many people in your life over time, to learn from.
I fall in love too easy maybe, but I like to have a woman in my life for a time, then be single for a while, and it can go up to about 6 years, then it seems to start failing. Some research indicates this may actually be normal and religious dogma and fantasy is all that really sez that love must last a lifetime.
Excellent response dear friend thanks for the support greetings
I think there's a million ways to have a relationship, and people should do what works for them. There's some indication that the seven year itch is a real thing. The traditional marriage arrangment definitely doesn't work for everyone. I do think however, life long relationships, whether that be friends or spouses, are important to having a full life.
Frankly for a lot of us, life is too challenging to not have a partner. Families can't exist anymore on one income. Hell I live in NYC and have a good job, but I still wouldn't be able to afford my lifestyle and be comfortable without a partner.
Ultimately it comes down to whatever works for you individually. Maybe you'd just do better to just have some soild friendships and a series of lovers. I think because of societial pressure it's hard for people to really understand and accept what they personally want. But, if you can idenify that, there is a whole world of people out there and in it are others looking for the same.
