Relationships

Why do people think its OKAY to be in a dysfunctional relationship? When has that EVER been deemed normal by society? It is the one thing that I have come across most in my life and it is something that I truly sincerely cannot even fathom where people possibly get this notion of intimate relationships from. It really maddens me to a point where I get so frustrated and I want to punch someone in the face. I feel so passionately about it, and it's something that I feel I need to get out there. People need to understand, not know, understand, that love exists, and love is not dysfunctional,and a relationship should never be the equivalent of unhappiness...EVER....no exceptions.

I'm getting all worked up already and I haven't even started yet.

I know so many people....::sigh:: and it burdens my heart, that are in dysfunctional relationships. Good girls, bad boys, bad girls, good boys. Opposites attract, and most people take that in a literal sense, like good and evil, and it is such a wrong perception of the phrase, it drives me CRAZY!

Why do people think that a relationship means driving each other insane? cursing each other out? crying? yelling? being disappointed? putting up with who the other person "really is" (meaning all their bad qualities that override any other aspect of their personality).

Its almost as if we, as humans, naturally, feel the need to help people, and fix problems. Assholes = a fixer-upper, a challenge to see if they love you enough to change for you, sticking around because their ass-holeness is clearly stemmed from some sort of mental problem from some occurance in their life (clearly, we think, they need help).


NEWSFLASH: NOBODY is going to change if they dont want to! and if they do, its going to be for themselves, not for anyone else, not for you, not for their mother, father, sister, brother, pastor, friend, or lover.
Like, Christ, seriously? When is it okay for couple to beat on each other? I really have to say that all these ridiculous reality tv shows have EVERYTHING to do with this. Drama. People love drama. Not to say that these types of relationships didnt exist before reality t.v, but its definitely helped these types of situations become the norm. Like its okay, you're fine, its perfectly normal for your girlfriend to treat you like shit because she thinks shes hot and has so many other guys to worry about, and youre jsut too good for her, but you love her. Its perfectly normal for your boyfriend to cheat on you, and yell, and not give a flying fuck about you, and tell you he loves you to keep you around because youre the only stable, consistent good thing in his life.

BULLLLLLSHIT.


I honestly cant even finish this post because it makes me so mad. I hate people. I really do. Human interactions, for the most part, not to say there arent any good ones, are absolutely disgusting.
