Relationship of convenience.


Times have changed as far as relationships are concerned. It is now more of convenience than passion, commitment and care.  The relationships are just something that works for some time. Since there are no commitments you don’t have to worry about permanence. The key to start or end a relationship is with you; once the needs end you can lock it.

One is not worried about the trauma the other person goes through as the relationship was not derived out of passion and emotional connection.

To move around, have some company and fun, to have a “status”, or just for some “experience”, that is the purpose of such relations, nothing more than that I suppose.

This is what I think about majority of the relationship of current times. Am I correct? Looking around this is what I see. Of course there may be few exceptions.

The belief of such people is “it is ok to love someone but not be in love”.

It is perturbing to see that opening up of education and opportunities have accelerated such relationships these days. This may be a good example of education not paving way for cultural augmentation and wisdom. Accumulating university degrees does not help such people to manage their emotions and inferiority.

The young generation needs to be really cautioned about getting into such kind of bond. As this is just a waste of time, energy and resources.

How to know such relations in advance for remediation is a matter of debate. Some knows it with their wisdom, and some unfortunate ones learn out of experience.

Understanding the partner altogether in the earlier stages is the key to success. Rather than being doomed to a bland, mediocre existence, understand whether the partner endorsed their positive feelings with hearty (dare I say) enthusiasm. 

If one find the relationship is that of the “convenience” one then the ideal way out is to bite the bullet. End the "convenient" relationship and forget about it. It's better to fight being a little lonely than to miss the right person at the apt time. More over it is not worth thinking and wasting any more vigor on it.

For those who are into committed relationship obviously there is encouraging news from the study by the O’Leary team.  According to them there are evidences to show that not only can long-term couples get along with each other, but they can maintain their passion for many decades in spite of differences.  Close relationships are the centerpiece of our sense of identity and are fundamental to our feelings of fulfillment. By changing your thoughts and your behavior about these relationships, you can keep them fresh and vital for years.
