Modern relationships are crumbling—not because love has disappeared, but because our approach to love has changed.
We talk about what we deserve but never about what we can give. We demand perfect partners but refuse to acknowledge our own imperfections. We seek love without sacrifice, commitment without effort, and relationships without resilience.
We romanticize love, but we don’t do love.

1. We Want Communication, But Not Comprehension

Everyone wants a partner who communicates well, but how many are willing to truly listen and comprehend?
  • We expect to be heard but don’t want to hear.
  • We want validation, not understanding.
  • We talk, we post, we text—but do we listen with the intention of resolving and growing?
Relationships are not just about expressing—they’re about understanding.

2. Love Without Sacrifice: A Selfish Approach

We crave love, but not the work that love requires.
  • We want loyalty without commitment.
  • We want devotion without service.
  • We see compromise as oppression and effort as a burden.
But real love is built on mutual service. Not in a way that diminishes us, but in a way that strengthens us. Love is not about winning—it’s about giving.
If you cannot serve the person you love, then you don’t really love them.

3. We Expect Perfection & Avoid Reality

We are addicted to idealized love. Our minds are filled with lists, standards, and expectations—all curated from movies, social media, and unrealistic fantasies.
  • We want someone young but with the wisdom and wealth of our parents.
  • We want a great partner, but the moment we see their flaws, we run.
  • We expect perfection but are unwilling to build with someone imperfect.
Nobody comes fully ready-made. Relationships require patience, growth, and endurance.
💡 Love is not about finding the perfect person—it’s about creating a perfect bond through imperfect moments.

4. We Are Fickle & Impatient

We live in an era of instant gratification. If something doesn’t feel perfect right away, we quit.
  • One argument? We leave.
  • A rough phase? We ghost.
  • A partner needs time to grow? We don’t have the patience.
We act like love is disposable, always assuming there’s something better waiting around the corner. But love isn’t about options—it’s about commitment.
📌 If you’re always looking for an exit, you’ll never build anything lasting.

5. We Demonize Masculinity & Femininity

Men say they want feminine women, and women say they want masculine men—yet society shames both.
  • We tell men to be soft and vulnerable—then criticize them for being weak.
  • We tell women to be strong and independent—then criticize them for being too dominant.
Masculinity is not toxic when it is rooted in leadership and protection. Femininity is not weak when it is rooted in nurturing and intuition.
A successful relationship is not about power struggles—it’s about balance and harmony.

6. Ego Kills Love

We are obsessed with self-love, but at what cost?
  • We tell ourselves, “Don’t settle for less.” But we all have "less" in us—love only works when we acknowledge our flaws.
  • We want a partner who tolerates us but are unwilling to tolerate them.
  • We measure love in ratios (50/50) instead of pouring ourselves into it fully.
📌 Love is not a transaction—it is a transformation.

7. Social Media Ruins Real Love

We spend more time creating content about our love lives than actually building them.
  • We seek validation online instead of intimacy offline.
  • We are more worried about how our relationship looks than how it feels.
  • We chase the illusion of perfect love instead of working on the love we have.
📌 Love isn’t a highlight reel—it’s the moments no one else sees.

8. We Lack Guidance from Those Who Have Lasting Love

Instead of learning from our parents and elders, we take advice from influencers, celebrities, and strangers online—many of whom have never experienced lasting love themselves.
  • The older generations had less knowledge but built stronger marriages.
  • We have more knowledge but create weaker relationships.
Why? Because love isn’t about knowledge—it’s about application.
If you want to understand love, talk to those who have lived it for decades.
💡 They didn’t stay because it was easy. They stayed because they chose to.

9. Bring Back Reality: The Final Truth

For a generation that boasts about better knowledge, we are a failure when it comes to relationships.
We need to return to reality—to understand that love is:
Commitment over convenience
Patience over perfection
Service over self-interest
Real effort over social media fantasies
Love is not about always being happy—it’s about choosing to stay even when it’s hard.
🛑 Stop chasing the perfect love story. Start building real love.
📌 Because real love lasts—not because it’s flawless, but because it’s fought for.
