I am sure you heard the thought that if a person doesn’t want to commit to another person it’s egoism…that’s the point of my today’s relationship advice columns.
Well, I don’t think that, cause what do we have in opposing case? Often, we have a persons who wants to be with another person in orders to be happy. Just think about that – “IN ORDER TO BE HAPPY”. Don’t you think it’s real egoism, cause someone needs another one in order the person to make him or her happy? Well, I think that it’s. That’s egoism. That’s a really selfish desire and it’s considered as something amazing, when we want to be with another person. We think it’s desire to love, to give yourself to another person, to make the person happy. Damn, that’s garbage! That’s real egoism and lie besides.
In fact “commitment” in marriage can by called a contract. Yes, it’s a contract. We expect from another person, that he or she won’t do something we don’t like and won’t approve. We say that to her, and promise that we will follow her conditions in exchange.
You can call that a commitment, but don’t call it “commitment to a partner”. It’s commitment to marriage, I’d say, cause you both commit to the idea of rules and your ideas what marriage is and how it should be. As soon as one of you violates the rules you move on to search for a new person for your life. And there was never commitment to the person, cause there was an only commitment to your ideas and rules about marriage or relationships.
People want insurances. As for me, I don’t want those. And I can’t give insurances to someone. Of course, I can say if I believe that our relationship will last eternally, but I never promise, cause I don’t know if the relationship will last eternally. Don’t think that I have never loved. No! I experience the feeling very often, however I always realize that it’s just feelings, and they can’t guarantee, that the relationship will last until we die.
Sometimes, when I am looking at night sky, night stars, I think that I can fly. And I want to jump and to achieve the sky, but I know that’s impossible, although I think and I am sure that I can. I wanna say that our thought, hopes, dreams don’t guarantee that they will come true. Those are just dreams. So, when someone asks me if I’ll love her all my life, I can’t answer “yes” cause it may be lie. I’ll try to preserve our relationship, I can do almost everything for it, if I want, but I can’t guarantee, and therefore, I can’t promise it.
So, no matter how important to say ”I’ll love you for ever” in a certain moment, I realize that it will be lie, and I don’t want to lie to a close person. I think it’s more honestly, if I say to her “I don’t know if I’ll love you for ever”.
Many people promise to each other, give vows, however they promise what is impossible to deliver. We can promise to do something forever, but you can’t promise to feel something forever. We can’t prolong our feeling by choice. Think about that. That’s truth. We can do some steps to prolong the feeling, but we can’t guarantee that it will be prolonged.
So, if someone promises me that she will love me for ever, I know that it doesn’t mean she will love me forever. I appreciate the person and her feelings, and I try not to hurt her, however I don’t think about her words very seriously. It’s more correct to think in this way, and that doesn’t ruin my relationship, on the contrary, realizing that everything may end, I try to preserve it. That makes our relationship more honestly and bright.
No one can be happy without another person, without a “soulmate”. I am sure you heard that too. It’s a very common conviction.
We try to find someone who will fulfill our desires, give us love and calm. We want someone to solve our personal problems, instead of solving them by ourselves. That’s a wrong way.
When we feel and think that we couldn’t “preserve love” or “save marriage” we pay for our believing that someone can and need to do that.
Why do we try to “preserve love” and to “save marriage”? Cause we are afraid of changes, uncertainty, inability to build a new close and intimate relationship with a new partner. So, often we are in a relationship which doesn’t give us something pleasant. We don’t have passion, intimacy, understanding, love, but we’re afraid of losing the stability, even if the stability is awful.
We so wish to predict future, prolong pleasure and calm, and prevent soul pain. When we are unable to achieve that, we try to find someone to blame her for the pain. And that’s usually the closest person, our former soulmate. We blame her, instead of thanking her for the pleasure she gave us, and the time she spent with us.
I don’t want to say that any relationship is unhappy. There are really people happy with their soulmates and enjoy their relationship for decades.
If something makes us really happy, it’s worthy to be in our life. It can be living with your spouse till the death. If it is, then you’re lucky! You’re lucky cause your vows came true. It’s like a lottery. Only few win it.
I am not sure if it happens very often, but everyone wants to win the lottery, and is sure that every relationship will end in marriage. I’d offer not to think in this way. It’s dangerous.
Why do we act in this way?
Why do we so often think what we should, and why so seldom do we think about happiness, the fun, the joy, the pleasure? What’s aim of our life?
If you enjoy the person now, however, know that you won’t be together, why not to have a “7-days-marriage” and then to say good bye to each other? Why we so often live together for 7 years, instead of 7 days? We have the only life. Why do we waste it? Why do we sure that every our relationship should end in marriage?
As for me, I prefer to live like every day is the last day. I don’t worry very much about a future. I want only to be sure that I’ll have enough to eat and where to sleep. Actually, those are the main conditions for living.
A relationship may last days, months, years…..the longest my relationship lasted 4 years. We had amazing times, were together often, and even lived together for 2 years. It was a great time, and I don’t regret it was. We were very close persons, friends, lovers, soulmates. You can ask “what killed your relationship? Well, it’s too private to share it, I just say those was a combination of factors, which killed the relationship.
Nowadays we are different people, and our couple doesn’t exist. But I don’t regret about the time, and I thank her for the time.
Sometimes life presupposes changes and therefore, relationships end. Remember that. Many people consider true love is eternal. I don’t think so.
I really do believe in love, but there are many kinds of it. It’s like a song. The same song sounds differently, cause every time it’s sung by a different singer)))
I wish you to find your real eternal love! Bye!
