Relationsheep (Part One)

Ah... relationships the ever so popular necessity that every young person wants. Most of them if you ask, will not even know why. They will not be able to give you good compelling reasons why they want a relationship. Stopping there would have prevented from anymore folly.

However when you ask them what about their partner or the person they are going after, attracts them. What qualities do they possess that makes you love and appreciate that person. Most of them will not have an easy time answering. Some people even go "Sigh, I need a girlfriend..." It is as though having a girlfriend is like acquiring an object for their pleasure, or like a pet. Like a being they can interact with at their leisure and discretion.

Some people are motivated to get a girlfriend/boyfriend so that they will not feel left out within their circle of friends. They feel that having a partner eliminates them from being classified as some sort of loser.

You know what, I don't really care anymore about your reasons as to wanting to have a partner.

What I don't get is... why would people treat the one they love, badly? Why would they scream at their partner or throw tantrums? Why do they threaten them? Why do they expect or force them to feel guilty and make them "pay" for it? Is that what love is?

I am sure some of you have read about the latest scandal that happened in the country that involved a young foreign model and a local royalty. Whereby the latter mistreated and abused the former so badly that she had to escape, fortunately with the help of authorities... of a neighboring country. I don't know about you, but if I was married to a young model 14 years younger than me, I would treat her so preciously. In these days who would want to marry somebody who is 14 years older than them, if they did not have money or power? So yeah think about it... instead of being grateful and appreciative (I went to school!) he abuses her. There is seriously something wrong with him.

What about those girls that treat their guys like slaves or ATMs? I've heard excuses from girls before that go something like "If you love me, you would [insert action here] for me." They never ever show their "love" for their guys in return. Ever. If they were trying to prove they did, it is usually because it was on their way. A matter of convenience for them to ride on.

Why do girls expect their guys to do certain things for them? As though it is mandatory in relationships? If you ever want to point out that your partner is not "doing enough" for you, you better be able to back up that claim with what you have done for your partner. If you can't, well then just stfu. You are in no position to make any demands. There shouldn't even be any demands from either sides.
