gentlemen what's going on...why do we suck at relationships...
and by we ,, i mean the western culture in general.. not you or me specifically

but to be honest ive sucked at relationships as well....because i followed what i THOUGHT a
relationship was or is supposed to be....but fuck...who the hell really knows

and It's self-evident that relationships are in quite the predicament,  look at the divorce rates,
and the winding navigation of the new age social media scene....
 
among scores of other life challenges, that will.... always rear their devious head...

death, taxes, breakups, break ins breakouts etc. etc...
 like a pissed off overweight diva when the all you can eat buffet runs out of bacon.

shit happens and shit leaves us pissed, confused and complicated

  Those .karens. deaths and the likes,
are ONLY a start to the difficulties..... a relationship CAN and will encounter

man and woman meet, they like each other, they pursue each other
but man has a past, woman has a past too....

man has his belief system and woman has her belief system

maybe they're heading in the same direction, but man has an idea of how to get there
and woman believes in her ways to arrive at said destination are better

and this presents problems...... but this is life....billions of people all wanting
their little piece of happiness...
but all varying in the actions to get there...

and so the engine, the power and force running relationships off the cliff to their death
is...... the instant gratification curse of modernity...

oh what a fucking curse it is......"I WANT IT NOW" AND MY WAY IS THE BEST

AND SO THE REASON RELATIONSHIPS SUCK IS...

We too often have a short term mindset with a temporary behaviors
, we cut corners in effort to have it OUR WAY NOW!!.  but The fast way now is the LONG way in the end...

we ignore the red flags....such as...she has three kids with three different baby daddies
...umm she hasn't worked in 5 years....and it ALWAYS has to be her way.....

we overlook these for the temporary pleasure of some fantasy
.....we've cooked up in our head of what relationships are
supposed to look like.....but according to who.....the news....the media....the newest song....OR YOU...

This lust for intense instant gratification cause these tiny debts to ACCUMULATE
 until eventually were bankrupt .....

we give up a little freedom for this....we give up a piece of OUR direction for that

we lose a little bit of our sovereignty for a seat at the table of uncomfotable slavery

ever felt like the cultural standard of relationships or... ANYTHING for that matter HAS YOU anchored down...

So the perfect relationship template in its cookie cutter fashion needs to be...MMM injected with a fresh look ....

it needs to fit YOU and your direction,  what do YOU want, are you more traditional,

are you seeking money, freedom, love, a partner, fun, adventure, simplicity. Etc etc.

and then go to work finding a compatible partner....key word compatible...not perfect..

perfect doesnt fucking exist

because WHO THE HELL believes love is going to fall from the heavens and hit you square in the love hole.....
without any effort......

nothing in life is guaranteed and easy,,,,,and those selling you that shit
need to be slapped and kicked in THEIR love holes....

fuck love and all its new age watered down bullshit....
modern love is a WEAK depiction of what a relationship is actually supposed to look like...

a relationship is specific to those involved....and in an INTIMATE partnership.... it is distinct
to those TWO tied together....

so we have to remove
