This has been a topic that I feel very strongly about and society seems to put on such a pedestal. I would love to hear your opinion or side on this.
What is the topic? RELATIONSHIP STATUS
Now I will start this by saying this is not an angry rant coming from someone single, I have a boyfriend but single or not, that should not affect this.
I am sick and tired of people being seen as "Farther in life" or "More successful" simply because they have a partner. "What are your achievements? oh. You have a partner, then your life is perfect" NO
Most marriages nowadays end in divorce nowadays, because people simply feel that having someone makes their life complete. "Oh, but ours is different. We love each other"
That is what every couple says in the beginning, if you're still together in 5 years, then we can talk. How about try making some achievements. Everyone is so hung up on relationships and their status that they'll even give up opportunities to a better life simply to please another. I've seen people stop perusing dreams of theirs because of a partner, hell, even I've been there.
But this bugs me the most. When people put others down for their relationship status. Sorry someone else chose to not settle. Thats their choice, and their relationship status is nothing to insult. They haven't met someone special yet, or it just hasn't started yet. Leave it at that, but to insult someone and assume negatives because they are single
"Oh they're single, something is wrong with them" is a toxic and overall shitty way to think of people. Grow up. this isn't high school and your shitty way of thinking wont get you any farther in life, instead you put your relationship status on such a pedestal that you feel it is all that matters.
This being entirely said. That doesn't mean that you can't appreciate your relationship. I worship my partner, but we are that. Partners. We help each other out. We encourage each other to do what we dream, even if it affects us. A relationship is suppose to be supportive of building each other. Not something to have just to show it off on your social media or to your family and/or friends.
I'm just tired of people making fun of someone because they are single. Like really? There are billions of people in the world. It's not about settling. you can find your perfect partner, They just may not be in your proximity. Some people find love at a young age, and good for them. Finding someone later is ok too. People grow up. People change. We all do it. I'm a very different person then In was a year ago. Time and patience. People find love at their own pace. It's not determined for them. They can't choose to have love by 20, 30, even 50. It's not someone's choice, unless they decide they need to be alone for awhile. If so, that is their choice and they chose to for a reason. Respect their choice! Respect their status!
