It might be true or false, I don’t know, it might be factual or fiction but I have no say about it. They say true love does exist. While some say it doesn’t, others say it was there before; during the era of our forefathers and foremothers.
Some will even vehemently claim true love has never and will never ever exist on earth, "perhaps in mars", they will insinuate.
I stand my ground though, that I am not a love expert when it comes to such matters because when I say I am, believe you me, some people will ask me questions I will never wish to answer or make comments I will never wish to hear in my life!
Have you ever sat back, relaxed but just wondered why some people, especially the ones we least expect to see in wasteful relationships staying in such abusive and non-promising relationships for quite longer than expected?
Well, wonder no more because there are very many reasons they do that at least not only to impress the world but at times to meet their own psychological and physical needs.
Remember we are all humans and we have needs to satisfy in our day to day lives.
Man communicates to fulfill those fundamental needs and that is why there is interpersonal communication or else no man would be communicating to the other be it verbally or non-verbally.
This vividly explains the existence of intrapersonal and interpersonal communication.
Yes, she or he is still there for a reason and a very reasonable one for this matter. Most of these people we wonder how, where and why they are still in the relationships and it might surprise if they had a moment to share with you their story.
Some are only there because they don’t want to be single. They believe they cannot be alone for a long time since they are or they have been used to be with this guy or that lady for such a long time.
They also are not as ‘foolish’ as some may want to think, because they will only be there but in an ‘on your mark’ position since they will be readily open to any potential lover or someone who offers a better relationship ground with favorable terms; so you should not be shocked next time you call inquiring on the whereabouts of their partner and they tell you “hell no, I am no longer with that monster, I just moved on with someone else.”
Some will get stuck in the relationship because of the children and believe that divorce can never be an option in that they believe that divorce is a sin that cannot be forgiven.
They always imagine that once they are divorced, their children will blame them in future. So they find it better to suffer for the happiness of their children than to be happy for their own life.
Good… I will say some will find this impossible, others will view such a decision as naive, but still, he who wears the shoe knows where it pinches most, so we should not judge anyone until we are in their position and that is when we will wish we would have never looked at them with bad eyes in the first place.
Others will stick in that relationship because they believe they really really love their partner and despite anything, they cannot live or survive without them.
They had better be a laughing stock in the village or in the estate, a punching bag in the house, but still afford to wear that smile every morning and masquerade as the happy wife or girlfriend.
