‘‘Relationship Goals’ have
made us far from being
realistic
Did you ever come across a couple posting
about their fights over house chores or
financials? No. You don’t get to see the daily
struggles or the drama. It is not always as exotic
as it looks, what’s posted for the public is usually
the furthest from the reality they’re living.
Feature et
‘Relationship Goals’ taught
us to make constant comparisons
Focusing on what others have and dedicating
too much attention to how others have it differently
than you takes your attention away from
your relationship and directs it towards others.
When you make a habit of constantly comparing
what you have with the rest, sooner or later
you’ll sabotage your love and become less grateful
for what you have.
‘Relationship Goals’ have
made us less appreciative of
the little things
Small gestures have become less noticeable
and appreciated because what we mostly see
now are posh things and extravagant proposals.
In this day and age, love is measured based
on materialistic things rather than those simple
little acts that show real love.
Everyone has it their own way, and that
makes neither you nor them wrong or right.
Focus on what you have, make the ‘Relationship
Goals’ ones that you set for yourself, not
goals based on what you see around. Yes, it is
part of human nature wanting to be better or
have it better, but it’s not always greener on the
other side.
