For some reason, it turns out I'm the kind of guy who gives the “You can trust me” vibe because I happen to be the one guy who most people in my life come to talk to about personal stuff, one of it being their love life.
And trust me when I say that as the day goes by, I find more and more reasons why loving someone and getting into a relationship with them just isn't the right thing to do, especially in this generation where everyone is heartless and doesn't really care about how their actions affect their partner.
I know a friend who has been single for almost four years, eventually gets into a relationship some time this year and has already broken up with her about three times already. And their relationship isn't even up to six months old.
Whenever we hop on a call and I ask him how he's doing, there's always something new for him to complain about in his relationship. And the crazy thing is that whenever he complains about these things to his girlfriend, she either makes him feel like he's complaining too much, or just ignores him completely, almost like she doesn't care.
And then I have another friend, a female who's currently struggling and looking for ways to leave her relationship, not because she hates her boyfriend but because he never seems to have any time for her. These are the few good complaints I've heard so far from people in relationships.
To be honest, it's starting to feel like a war zone these days, rather than something that is supposed to have a lot of love in it. Unfortunately, love requires you to be vulnerable to feel it entirely, and being vulnerable means being able to be hurt by the other person in a relationship, which is simply something I simply cannot bring myself to do right now.
