1. WE ARE IN A TECHNOLOGICAL AGE, where everything is instant. Instant noodles, instant coffee, instant boyfie, instant break-up. Sabi nga ng sulit: Hanap. Usap. Deal. Ganun kabilis magkajowa ngayon. Unless we go back to the basics, we are not destined to meet "Forever."
2. BLAME IT TO SOCIAL MEDIA because Social Media is the number 1 culprit on making everyone realize they have a wide social circle. Only in social media can you call someone "friend" without even meeting him, or probably "like" something without really experiencing it. Social Media tells us there are a lot of options and we won't run out... ayun, naniniwala naman tayo sa social media.
3. TOO MUCH WATCHING OF TELESERYE often leads us to believe that there is an ideal love story. Then we tend to compare our love story to the one in TV. Pag narealize natin na di siya pareho, magdedemand tayo sa partner natin ng kagaya ng nakikita natin. Patay! Si partner, di kaya yun. Then you break up. Ayun wala na naman si "Forever."
4. WE TAKE THE HEAT from peer pressure. Guilty? Hinde? Weh? When your peers tell you you deserve someone better, at first dedepensahan mo pa pero habang tumatagal, you subscribe to the "alam mo pare tama ka" group. Our peers can be demanding and degrading but always remember, ikaw ang nakikipagrelasyon, di sila.
5. LGBT PEOPLE ARE NOT BOUND BY SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES to get married and raise a reputable family. Unlike heterosexual couples where society would disgust a married for having an affair with another woman or when a couple splits up at walang kinilalang ama or ina ang mga anak. Sa case natin, walang ganung social responsibility and pressure. So ayos lang magka affair sa iba or maghiwalay... Society does not treat it as immoral.
6. IT'S BECAUSE WE CHOOSE TO LOOK AT WHAT'S WRONG AND NOT WHAT'S RIGHT. Learning to say the words: "Nagkamali ako," "Sorry," and the like, mas gusto pa natin sinasabi na "E ikaw nagsimula di ba?" or "Kasi dapat ganito." The perfect and bossy type in all of us kicks in during the heat of the argument, patay! Lalo nating pinatay si "Forever."
7. BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP IS A LUCRATIVE BUSINESS. Totoo! May mga taong pinagkakakitaan ang pakikipagrelasyon. Imagine, find a rich guy that you dont love, as long as he has the greens, a house and a car, why would you need love when you have everything? Then when you find someone with more greens, two houses, three cars, move over to him and leave poor Mr. Number 1. Repeat until you get guilty and karma's payback time.
8. PEOPLE GET CONFUSED BETWEEN LONELINESS AND LOVE. So broken-hearted ka, then someone approached you, sabi sayo "eto panyo." Ikaw naman kinilig. Naging assuming ka. Kala mo in love ka na sa kanya but in reality, it's not love. It was just a fulfillment of your loneliness. Then pag narealize mong di love, hihiwalayan mo and the poor guy undergoes the same cycle that you just went through.
9. WE TEND TO SHORTEN TIME SO MUCH. May monthsary, may weeksary, may daysary pa nga eh. But think about this, the reason why these words did not exist in the dictionary is because we should not have celebrated them at all. Lets not count days, weeks, months. Let's count memories and keep building them.
10. LASTLY, IT IS ALWAYS HIS FAULT AND NEVER MY FAULT. Sad but true. Relationships nowadays lack humility. Wala ng gustong magpakumbaba. Palaging siya ang may kasalanan. It doesn't hurt to accept our mistakes and atone for them. It also helps kung paminsan minsan liligawan at pasasagutin natin ulit ang partner natin to help reset the romance in the relationship.
