"Family is more important, honey"

Valentine's is finally over. The whole week must have passed in romance with all the couples. But the end of this horrendous week was such a relief for many single men. There are single women as well, but 80% of them tend to have at least some guy hitting on her or trying to woo her. It is the men who have to suffer.

A lot of male friends text me on Valentine's saying, "I miss her today a lot, dude." Apparently, they all had broken up with their respective partner quite recently. The sad part in the break up was that they were in a relation from a span of 2-5 years. The shocking part was almost all the guys were ditched; the reason for the break up was also similar,

"I do not think we have a future. My family will not accept us."

or,

"I cannot go against my family. Love marriages are strictly prohibited."

Indian women perhaps have a problem with understanding facts and feelings. I mean, hello missy, if you knew there is no love business allowed in your family, why even go for a relationship. Our mentality as women is so confused, we criticize one night stands but we do not mind having an affair though in the end there is no intention of marriage or commitment.

Trends are changing drastically. Women can move on after a break up very easily. Yes, they do feel bad and are hurt as well. But, they have a male best friend supporting them or some other ‘just friend’ trying to cheer up. Some years back there were men traumatizing women, the females used to cry in some bedroom corner shouting,

"He used me.. I was just an object for pleasure."

Very soon the guys are going to say that they were being used for pleasure, I guess there are some saying this already.

We women should understand the fact if somebody is getting involved you must get yourself clear. If you think he is not the one for your family, stop being a freaking hypocrite and either leave him or your family instantly. Your family or situations are not going to change after years of waiting. It is you who have to change things.

And men, the simple and innocent women you look for end up either ditching you, betraying you or making you nothing but a pet. You must think with your brains before getting involved rather than your.. hope you got it.

Life is short people..why cry over relations that certainly cannot be mended..flirt around..fall in love again and again..more than once is totally agreed these days!!
