It saddens me how these new age relationships have become a fad for our youth and some of us older people that have bought into the madness. Relationships nowadays are missing some key pieces but one in particular RESPECT. How dare you justify your relationship by saying "oh, we have an open relationship"? Now, if that works for you then so be it but that's not a damn relationship that's a fucking compromise. All you said to the person you're with is "I'm sorry baby, but you're not enough for me so I'm gonna get it and still have you to come home to because you're my convenience". Stop the madness people!!! There is a big difference between a RELATIONSHIP and a CONVENIENCE.. Which one do you have???
Respect yourself and you will respect others.. Love yourself and you will love others!! Why compromise love? Why compromise yourself? Self-respect = Self love

Very insightful and i wholeheartedly agree with you.i have never seen the point in saying you're in a relationship if its gonna be open. Its like okay we together but only at night when we go to bed
ReplyDeleteAmen!!!
ReplyDeletevery good post man. something I've been "preaching", literally, for quite some time now. I guess people will never get it.
ReplyDeleteReal Talk.
ReplyDeleteThat's the main reason why relationships are so overrated these days. Some people who are involved w/ a significant other take things for granted. They date to show the world what they're made of, or as a means of saying, "I got a man! Look how pretty I am! That's why he's MY MAN b!tches, so you better f--- off and find your own." (Some men think the same way w/ a different approach). Sometimes I see evidence of this happening at school, church, even at the mall. It's madness as you put it. Part of the reason I won't date no one till I've established myself w/ a career - why waste my time w/ an irresponsible individual? Being with someone is a joke. Being with someone is a game. That's the mentality in today's society that you, me, and every reader of this post will not stand up for.
All that really matters to me is God, family & friends, moreso my education & having the ability to take carry myself through. I don't give a care about the "love life" that wishful thinkers care so much about.
My question is, why jump into a relationship when you're not yet a complete single person? This is why relationships [nowadays] tend to be overrated and set for failure. People gotta give that some serious thought before they take that step.
