Modern Love, Relationships, & Commitment

We used to marry till death do us part.

Today, we marry till love dies.

We used to marry and have sex for the first time.

Today, you marry and stop having sex with others.

You used to have monogamy, one person for life.

Today, monogamy, is one person at a time.

Everybody says - "I'm monogamous in all my relationships."

Implicitly, it all makes sense.



What are your thoughts on this matter ?

Has the changing times truly affected our connections with other as greatly as so ?

What impacts do you think this causes ?

Did you know in some parts of Cyprus it is still common custom for women to sit on the street and wait to be taken by several strangers in one night, as preparation for getting married?

Cool fun facts.

Imagine all the bad sex she could possibly end up having.

So much so that she may be relieved to be married the next day. 😆

@tiziani, that is certainly one way to prepare a woman for commitment. 😈

1) too many temptations

2) astrology in the sky : Pluto Capricorn, Breaking down what's not useful and productive and what is lasting. Capricorn is about work work and workign harder, Pluto breaks down and destroys what is not working/rebirth.

3) we passed through Pluto Sagittarius, breaking down of religion and philosophy of what's not working,

so many religious sects destroyed and bombed over the years and the freedom of speech...

Pluto Aquarius coming... i'm kind of scared lol but we may not be living.

my cap mercury is being grim...

4) again like no.1 too many temptations. the need for technology and better things in life, takes us far away from the simple things, and we are no longer desirious of the simpler things in life.

You are walking bullshit!!! No wonder you are alone and living on dxp!

I think you need a cool fun fact where men sitting on the street waiting to be fucked because they can’t find anyone to fuck themselves! Sure you’ll be joined by a few sitting next to you...

Yeah for many of us, we saw first hand what going through a divorce looks like. Nasty.

I’m not into it.

I mean if you really think about it, what does sex have to do with love?

You took the red pill.

Yes as Lisa said, too many temptations ... Easily available sex, *swipe, swipe, swipe* so no need for men to wait, and because lots of women make it so so easy, no need to commit ...

Yeah marriage and relationships in the past were often made to survive. Still happens in this day and age. But not as many people need to use it for survival so more people marry and get in relationships for love and pleasure or live independently. It's a natural step for a socially progressive world.

Personally I could care less about marriage but relationships are serious business. I want a best friend and individual I can make memories with and better myself alongside. But that may not be ideal for others.

And if we're talking about the modern form of dating...eh not my cup of tea. Can't do internet dating, clubs aren't my scene. I'm old school, need to take my time to know a person. And I agree that there is this instant gratification part of Western culture that we could learn to work on.

That's because - the overall life was more stable/secure in the past. Most people from older generations - would get a job and work there for decades or even till pension. Plus, they'd get support at buying a house. Even family relations - used be more tight back then (our parents and grandparents used to put up with a lot more than we'd be whiling to - for the sake of harmony). They were brought up with that mentality. And since those people would marry young or in their 20s - that time of stability would cover a big part of their relationship life. Also, and most importantly... many of those didn't marry for love (as in... romance / romantic feelings). They married for stability. They settled. There were also less distractions back then - since there was no internet. So their life was more... real (anchored in reality / "what you see is what you get").

They didn't get into a relationship for sex - but to start a family together. To have children. And they had this mentality prior to their twenties. While now - there's people in their 30s or beyond - who seek a relationship mainly for sex and company. Not to start a family or to have children together.

Simply put it... we live in a different time/world.

Well I've never been to Cyprus so I could easily be wrong. But to dream is free.
