College Relationships


Why many (not all) college relationships fail to complete the course

XYZ Engg. College, TN.

Boy: I feel like am in love with you.
Girl: I too feel the same about you.
Boy: now is that a yes to my proposal?? 
Girl: YES da

A year later,
Girl: you have changed a lot these days. I feel like you are not the guy whom I liked.
Boy: I too feel the same about you.
Girl: what do you mean by that??
Boy: let us better finish this.
Girl: now is that it? 
Boy: hmm... yes. 

The end

~ What appears to be the end may really be a new beginning (quoted with sarcasm). ~

A thing that is 2nd most common in Engg. Colleges (since am not aware of the trends in arts and science colleges) these days are the BREAK-UP. Sadly, the 1st place is taken by ARREAR .the question here is, why is it that these relationships don’t even stand for more than a year? The reason is our mind lets go of present things when it sees something better (simply called ‘MOVE ON’).isn’t this a kind of betrayal? Yes it is. Then why doesn’t our mind feel guilty about it? Because it justifies it.

Firstly, a mind gets bored off of the same person. Just like how it gets bored of a song after we hear it many times .secondly, when it sees something better (a person of better likeable qualities) it tries to move on. That is where the mind-heart conflict starts.

Mind: we need to move on.
Heart: that is betrayal.
Mind: it is not. I can justify it. I can give you umpteen incidents where that person hurt you.
Heart: but still…
Mind: what still? Can’t you see, that person doesn’t care anymore for you? That person is not spending more time with you.
Heart: that person has cared for me.
Mind: as though you didn’t care. Looks like even that person wants to move.
Heart: …. 

And these conflicts are at its height when the relationship is going through a rough patch. Ultimately the mind justifies and wins in most cases. And if the heart wins, that means the relationship has passed through the rough patch successfully. 

By relationships, I mean friendships too.

The solution is that mind needs a concrete bargain (reason) to remain devoted to a relationship. Every time the mind gives reason for a break up, the heart can give out this solid reason to continue that relationship. 
But unfortunately, that bargain factor can happen only naturally.
