RE: Rethinking The Paradigm Of Romantic Love
I would say society is a big part of the problem.
You are expected to find one person these days to complete you, and it's so much harder to find friends these days.
Part of why you remain friends with people so long is that you don't expect as much from them.
Perhaps we should change it so that we see partners as someone that's just part of your life, and we may eventually leave behind.
Man that is so true! We place much more and much higher expectations on our lovers than on our friends.
Most people are uncomfortable with the idea of commiting to a love that doesn't last "forever", but it's a paradox considering that most romantic relationships will indeed not last a lifetime.
What can I say, easier to dismiss the truth;) hurts less;) (until reality slaps us in the face;))
