So I run across Instagram photos, Facebook posts, and Tweets almost daily of people who are saying how much the they love their significant other, photos of them kissing, talking about how lucky they are to have this person in their life.... All these things that sappy couples do. Now I understand I may be culprit to such activity, but mind you I'm in a three year relationship.
The reason all these posts, tweets, and photos from other people stick out is because they are new relationships. How can you deem yourself "so lucky to have him in my life" when you've been dating for two weeks, or even a month. I may be a bit pessimistic, but I have a feeling you'll be complaining about him texting other girls, or liking someone else photo before the year is up.
Lucky for me I'm dating a real man, and he has proved to me that I am a very lucky woman. I don't play the BS relationship games that most people do. I don't worry who he is texting, where he is at, etc etc. We are both at the point were we both understand that we wont find anyone better, so there is no point in ruing a great thing.
I find it highly entertaining when I see ambiguous posts like "You are a liar, cheat, good for nothing" and so on. It is hysterical to me that there are people out there who don't know how a relationship works. What cracks me up to a whole other level is when a guy cheats on his girlfriend and then the girlfriend gets mad at the girl he got with... Like I'm sorry... WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE LOYAL TO YOU??? Girls can be so twisted. Guys too. In my opinion there is no reason to be mad at someone who owes you nothing(the one your significant other cheated on you with), be angry at the person who said they loved you, and lied about where they were.
This may seem like a very un thought out post, probably because it is. I just have a lot of thoughts on the way people view relationships these days. They get all excited after the first week, then a month later they could not be more upset with this guy/girl who they once loved so much.... SCOFF.
Yes, indeed. Although what you mentioned is very prominent and visible nowadays, I never thought about it in that way. I like how you addressed the pseudo-loyalty issue where a partner says he/she loves his/her significant other yet fails to meet the most basic requirements, such as trust. A three year relationship is quite long and impressive, I hope your relationship lasts forever with your lover!
