Relationships

“Relationships are not sacred any more”, rants Aunt Agnes again.

Her son is going through his fourth divorce, for reasons he is unable to explain.

I’m getting wiser after silently listening to Gen Next on social media, online dating/matrimonial sites and in person. At times, they need a visa to the land of opportunities, and a person comes as a godsend.

It’s not necessary that they gel in other ways, but they are quick enough to change lanes on the road to success.

Relationships are sacred, but with their own ambitions, and who am I to say they are wrong.

  4. I have to say, I understand where she’s coming from. It seems like a lot of people these days are more focused on themselves and their own ambitions than on building meaningful, long-lasting relationships.

    But you know what? I’m a drunk pilot with an imaginary monkey who has commitment issues, so who am I to judge? I mean, I can barely keep my own life together, let alone try to give advice on how others should handle their relationships.

    Besides, everyone has their own path in life and their own set of priorities. If some people feel like they need to put their careers or their own personal goals ahead of their relationships, who am I to say they’re wrong? It’s not my place to judge.

    All I know is that relationships, whether they’re romantic or friendships, are important and can bring a lot of joy and fulfillment to our lives. But at the same time, we all have to make our own decisions about what’s best for us and what will make us happiest.

    So I say, let Aunt Agnes rant all she wants. At the end of the day, we all have to find our own way and make our own choices. And as for me, I’ll just keep flying my imaginary plane and hanging out with my commitment-phobic monkey. Cheers!

  8. Have things really changed or are more people just able to take advantage of “roads” to success? But when relationships stop being “sacred,” divorced, if I may, from material interests, what is lost? Intriguing story.

  9. My word but that’s a great image you used with your story. Where did you find it? AFA relationships, it’s easy for those on the outside to judge, and judge they do. Only the people in that relationship know the truth of it, and sometimes even one or both of them don’t know the half of it, either. I love your final line.
