Relationship Failure

WHY DO RELATIONSHIPS FAIL? When you first initiate the ''love'', you cant sleep without calling and texting that one person. You suddenly render everyone else a little less important. Your days just got brighter. You love your boyfriend. You love that girl and in your minds, you've found your soul mate. But where does it all go wrong coz am sure nearly everyone has a sad love story to tell. ''all he wanted was sex'' ''he couldn't give me attention'' ''she's a gold digger'' ''she cheated'' ''he's a childish flirt'' ''i thought i knew him or her'' the reasons are plenty. You see, WE ARE THE PRACTICAL GENERATION. We believe in learning by doing. Most relationships are only existing because of the ''physical benefits''. Desire is the driving force. As a result, selfishness and insecurity are glued to the relationships. We believe in calling and texting as an expression of love, trust and faithfulness as compared to physical company. Social media is the source of relationships. We chat day in and out about everything such that when we meet, we do not have anything to talk about. Now after the blissful moments of intimacy, you start feeling like its a prison. You do not have anything more to say. If its a guy, you go back to social media to hunt again leaving her heart broken. We are the classy generation where physical appearance is considered more than emotional maturity. The ''beautiful'' girls are hard to get unless you drive or can sponsor her hair. They love the rich kids who love their bodies. Church guys or girls are called boring. You must have ''swag'' to date someone. Programs have replaced passion. Love is highly mechanical and nudity is called art. We nolonger follow the heart. Its just a matter of time for it all is a slow fade. Its a ticking time bomb. Does anybody here truly love? Please teach me.

Yes, much truth in this. Following the heart may be seen as old fashioned, but some things are tried and true... Quite a well written piece.
