I understand that marriage is an institution and apart from social and familial consequences, legal angles financial implications, emotional reasons and a whole lot of paper work makes you try, try and keep trying, even compromising your entire life if need be, despite it being a bad marriage. But I can’t understand the need for people to suffer obviously bad relationships. In a planet of over 6 billion, with over 1.2 billion individuals in your own country, and probably lakhs or crores in your income group, social strata etc. it’s incredulous that people ‘compromise’ so dearly on their happiness just because they are ‘now involved’ with each other. Of course there is a saying, ‘look before you leap’, but for those that dived in head first without looking, there’s no reason to continue with obviously cruel, incompatible or emotionally torturous relationships. It isn’t rocket science to tell you that it’s not working despite best efforts. It takes an ability to recognise it and not emotionally delude yourself into staying for ‘various reasons’. Relationships either strengthen you or drain you. They either better you or embitter you. They either make you live your potential and realise your potential, or they keep you in a permanent state of compromise and conflict. Live, learn, kiss it, bless it and let it go. No relationship is perfect, but the good to bad ratio cannot be severely lopsided. The ‘right’ partner is as much a reality as a ‘wrong’ partner. Don’t be stupid, lazy or emotionally weak about wanting the better for yourself. Marriage may be a compromise, relationships don’t have to be€.
