10 Ugly Truth About Relationships Nowadays

These days, relationships are characterized by a lot of unnecessary twines that even the parties in it make it seem like without those twines, the relationship will go down the drain.

The society describes, prescribes, downloads and even dictates what goes on in a large number of relationships around. Without knowing it, or not putting any attention to it, we also get swayed by a lot of things going on around us and in what we think should be the relationship standard that the society expects from us.
Gone are the days when dating was predictable and straightforward.

New age relationships have evolved and are unfortunately bundled up with insecurity and laced with lust. Yes, modern relationships have some ugly truths that you’ve got to deal with before you decide to take the plunge and go to the next level.
Here are 10 ugly odds, in most relationships nowadays:

1. Wrong mode of communication:

Yes, everything is becoming easier, all thanks to technology. However, there are some things that cannot be replaced by technology. Quite a lot of relationships get crack not because there was no communication, but because the wrong form of communication was picked! Social media, texting, Whatsapp, BBM and lots more are all great ways to communicate but you will agree that most times, during translation by the receiver, the point is lost. Texting, messaging and emails can make things more complicated. Why not go in for the face-to-face method and keep it straightforward?

2. Waiting it out:

The ‘do-not-be-the-first-to-say-hi-after-a-major-argument’ rule has now become a trend and it is even becoming something else. Whoever started the rule must have been someone with a hardened heart. Yes, there are times you just have to wait and let the other person do the calling first, but hey it should not be all the time. This is very common amongst ladies… Going by this new dating rule you won’t probably mind waiting for two days before you contact him again. But wouldn’t it be better if you could just approach them immediately and take things in the right direction instead of wasting time waiting it out?

3. Looks are important:

Most people today consider looks as an extremely important factor and would give up a good man for a good looking man. This could be a big mistake, so choose wisely.

4. Unreasonable Fantasies

Relationships these days are based on fantasies. The difference between love and lust is forgotten and more often than not the lust is mistaken for love. So what you think might be love could actually just be attraction to good looks. Be clear on what you like in the opposite person so that there is no room for confusion. Also, be guided!

5. Misinterpretation:

Trying to pass as an ‘I-am-too-cool-to-care’ person might boost your ego as the man or the lady in your relationship but the truth is, it also has side effects. This little but mighty attitude of yours can put you across to your partner as someone who is egoistic, you can also be easily misinterpreted as  not interested in the relationship, not caring and many more… which could stop your relationship from going to the next level.Think about it, do not let your ego take away something important t you.

6. Social media syndrome:

Yes, the importance of social media is enormous BUT it can also be the evil that will wreck havoc in your relationship. Putting write-ups, images that suggest what is going on in your relationship is a no no! Save some of them for your patner alone. The whole social media sphere does not need to know when you are happy and otherwise with your relationship.

7. The fear of coming out clean:

Most people today are worried about disclosing their relationship status to the world in the fear of turning down better options. Fear of commitment makes things worse. You have to make up your mind, it is either you are in and proud of it or you are out!

8. The idea of romance:

People nowadays love the idea of romance more than the actual thing.  We have been blindfolded by what we see in movies and what we hear in some fairy tales. This makes many to want the fairy tales, they don’t want to work towards getting it. Relationship is work, work it out!

9. It’s all about sex:

Everything most people in a relationship talk about mostly is all tilted to sex! Its amazing how one night stands, flings and sex dates have become extremely common in today’s day and age. Make sure you are not in a relationship that revolves around sex. It isn’t wrong to want more than physical intimacy.

10. Exclusivity isn’t always promised:

You will be shocked to know how many women in a relationship are dealing with this issue. Some of them will say they are now used to the  ‘friends with benefits’ culture without even wanting to.  Make sure to put across your views before you get your heart broken. Also set some of the things you don’t want and can’t put up with in a relationship before going into one. It will help you greatly!
