Whoah!? Is this how romance is going to be now?

This is happening cuz they are apparently mad at their partners. I therefore conclude that there are more mylotters bitter to their partners than mylotters like you who wants nothing more than to love their partners. :)

I don't really know myself..even my cousin which is a girl said there is no such thing as romance....Wheeww..but I still choose the otherwise..The world won't be fun without good old romance.

Hello Laydee,I feel for you. I don't know what happened to the quality of most romantic relationship people has. Sometimes I feel that the youth is changing, our culture is changing and the way we look at relationships have changed. You know what I think? I think the quality of how they keep their relationship has deteriorated. In my opinion, people get to involve themselves in relationships that easy that they didn't even give their self to grow and to realize what is really important to them. They tend to look always at the superficial things in life and realizing later on that the person they thought would be the best to them is nothing but a prick.

I think romance is a different thing than love. Yes in love you believe on your partner, there is no compulsion of physical relation even. But when people are more selfish they even don’t believe on their partner and even they are not all the time. Their partner also does not worthy even to be believed. So this is the society thinking which you could see in discussions.

So much for true love. I guess morality's getting even more twisted nowadays that you'd screw even with your loved ones. No pun intended. But I guess it also doesn't help that in society today, it's far more acceptable to have twisted and broken relationships. It's possible that there's a reduced amount of support for marriages. It used to be that families were the very basis of marriages - they used it for connections, for convenience, for work (and even farming), for subtly arranged marriages, surrounded by pressure from both sides that it becomes more of a convenience rather than a personal will to keep bonded. But now in an ever growing post-industrial and even post-modern age, lovers have to make it on their own in their tiny nuclear family with no one holding it together but each other. I guess it's either you're in love, or your'e not, in which case it's really going to fall apart.

Society has become a throw-a-way world, and that includes relationships. People don't take their relationships serious, and there is zero respect for the commited relationship. As soon as one partner becomes unhappy about something, the first thing they do is start looking for that greener pasture. It's also becoming the 'norm' to have extra marital affairs. That's evident by the constant influx of celebrities having press confrences to address the 'rumors'. Lately, the rumors weren't rumors at all and people are telling the world they're sorry. This only makes it that much harder to have a commited relationship, and/or believe your signifigant other is being faithful. When there are so many negative factors, it's easy to see why people post such articles.

That is truly sad. Now you have found a part of mylot that needs improvement. Maybe post some of your ideas to spice up a relationship and make your significant other happy and then maybe you can get some input :) My husband and I always love to go on a hike to reconnect. We bring along our 4 year old and it is a nice leisurely hike. We both take pictures, we play hide and seek, and we throw berries or acorns or even pinecones at eachother. It's just wholesome family fun and it really makes us want to be together later after we have exhausted the little one.

I think it is a darn shame and perhaps if we all had some good ideas on how to improve our relationship it may be just what we all need! These days romance has certainly deteriorated I believe. People are just too busy to give each other time; some don’t even stop long enough to hear what is making their partner unhappy. There is also the fact that it is very easy to walk out if things aren’t right instead of putting in the hard work to resolve conflicts.

I don't really know myself..even my cousin which is a girl said there is no such thing as romance....Wheeww..but I still choose the otherwise..The world won't be fun without good old romance.

Times have changed. Cheating seems to be order of the day. If one is cheating, he/she is not bad, just smart. and when in any case the relationships are not to be entered in to for a life time, then how does it matter if a break up is in 3 days, 3 months or 3 years. Afterall relationship has to end someday when both partner get bored with each other and relationship is no longer refreshing and exciting.

Personally I dont think that romance has fallen into these categories... i actually think that this is really bad... romance can be anything you want it to be and not all relationships are the same.

Cheating gets easier every time it's done. I think, there are many factors that affects the romance we have now. Our society today lives in a different world basically a modernized one which technology takes a big role. I mean, you open then browse the web and from there, starts everything. Social networking sites and dating sites. I think another factor would be wise decision making. Anyway, maybe the old fashioned way of romance ran out of style these days but for on a personal note, I still wanted to have a relationship that lasts. No flirting and pseudo relationships whatsoever.
