Being in a relationship...

We often come across so many happily-married couples,yet-to-be married lovers and wanna-get-committed singles in our day-today lives. You can always see them ever-laughing,energetic and full of zeal and vigour. But this does not hold good for all. Happily-married couples, as I have mentioned earlier, have got their own duties and responsibilities and it is not possible for them to come out of it. They need to endure to put up with how life treats them. Yet-to-be married lovers would have just got into a relationship and it is too early for them to think about getting out of the relationship. Wanna-get committed Singles, on the other hand, would have dreamt a lot about getting committed. We often feel that it is always good to be in a relationship, to be loaded with responsibilities.

Little do we think about the consequences of getting committed. Getting committed has its own merits and de-merits. Lets now ruminate over the merits of getting committed. As I said, getting committed inculcates a sense of responsibility in you. In-a-relationship feeling makes you feel fresh and enthusiastic. Nothing in this world can make you feel depressed and crestfallen for you always have a person to bank on, to support, encourage, guide you in your predicaments. This can even make you feel that, it gives a sense of meaning to your otherwise meaningless life. It further helps you change your attitude, control your emotions and enhance your sense of love and also redefines it in certain cases.


But as the saying goes,”every coin has two sides”, we may have to ponder over the de-merits of being in a relationship also. Being in a relationship makes you feel responsible which is fine as long as you can bear the brunt of it. The sense of love, which you might have had at the beginning of the relationship, later develops into a sense of possessiveness,which imposes execrable restrictions on your activites, that exasperates you. It further reduces your friends’ circle,ultimately leaving you with just handful of them. Being in a relationship makes you feel good. But, breaking up from the relationship makes the situation worse. Everything looks terrible and unpleasant. It becomes really really difficult to get back to your normal life, soon after your break up. It is indeed good to be loaded with responsibilities but certainly not at this age.
In a nutshell, the very effect of being in a relationship remains in our hands and depends on our perception. Relationships, when dealt properly, can shape your life into an impeccable and perfect one, whereas, when dealt wrongly, can ruin your life. . It is upto us to make it a memorable or a forgettable one.
