Itโs very common nowadays to hear about and even witness unexpectedย breakups. After a long love story peopleย end relationships, engagements or even marriages. Marriage that was once a sacred haven has become something that is easily given up on. Hereย are some reasons behind this phenomenon:
- Life Has Become Easier Being Single
Or to be more clear about it, life has become harder being in a relationship.ย It now costs a fortune to get married in Egypt. Ethics and values on the other hand haveย loosened; what was once consideredย wrong has become acceptable. Behaviours that were once frowned upon, like infidelity for instance, are now even considered cool. Let alone, the responsibilities and compromises.
- Comparison and Comparison
In the past, options were limited; one didnโt have that much exposure like nowadays. People didnโt use to compare their lives and their relationships to others. Now blind comparison isย at the core of everyoneโs life. People need to stick to their own lives and appreciate them.
- They Donโt Fight for Anything
Weย grew up in a fast-paced world. Everything happensย at theย click of a button, so we now run out of patience so easily and give up so damn quickly. We donโt have patience anymore to work on anything.
- Negative Talk and Influence
Most of our generation vents out about how marriage sucks. Relationships are now perceived negatively, when they should be the comfort zone that you run to when you’re feeling down.
- Social Media
That double-edge weapon is a HUGE reason for giving up easily. It should come with a warning that says โBe careful while using.โ You keep comparing girls or guys that are not even real (photo-shopped and edited) to your partners. Social media also made betrayal easier; everyone has excess to anyone they want whenever they want. And again comparing your life to other people in your circle (or not) and only see the happy side.
Please try to hold on to the one you love; donโt give up easily. Donโt get fooled by how other peopleโs lives look like, becauseย things are almost never whatย they seem. At the end of the day, nothing comes easy. It takes compromise, selflessness and compassion to make any relationship work.
