This is one topic I have always felt I am on the stronger side. I have been usually quite ok with break ups, and really did not take the extra baggage forward. And I quite could not understand why people wanted to drag past memories to the future. As far as I am concerned, I live in the present, and not care about what the future holds for me.
Something very strange just happened. A friend of mine (I don't think its appropriate to name people here) called me to tell me that she and her so called boyfriend had a "talk". A talk about their relationship, a talk about the path forward, a talk about the stress it gave each other. And I did feel bad, actually aweful for the couple. And I always thought that this couple were cool and hip and happening, and they were so much in love. They would call each other at least a 10 times to say they loved each other. They would drive around the city and felt extremely comfortable with each other. They would yap about any topic, and laugh about their flaws.
Yet they had a strained love affair. And I exactly know the reason why. Its due to expections, its due to extremely contrasting views on love and marriage and life and future, its due to the time they dont get to be with each other. And also, not living the moment, but thinking of the future.
I ask myself, why do people expect their loved ones to do what they feel like? I cant find an answer to this, and I am no expert on this topic, since I expect a lot from my loved ones as well.
And the conclusion to this cute li'l love affair was a break up. One so bad that am sure both of them cannot stop thinking of each other, yet they need to pretend that they are angry with each other.
A mask to wear here...
