' Getting an ex back' vs. ' Getting over your ex'
Love is all over the place. Sometimes it seems that the only problem in this world is love. 80% of what's projected from the television screens deals with the topic. There will always be another Dr.Phil giving a good relationship advice or another desperate house wife cheating on her husband before the big breakup. Books are no different. You can find a lot of titles that promise advice on how to get over an ex or even how to get your ex boyfriend back. Entertainment publications, talk about about celebrities. They publish information about celebrity breakups and cheating.
We are clearly obsessed by the subject and everything that's related to it.
Please don't think I'm against it. On the contrary I'm all for love and think people should talk about it more, but in a slightly different form. The topic should be discussed more in industrialized countries like The Russian federation and Netherlands. Their population is declining. Large number of people in those countries are brainwashed into believing that money is the most important thing. Pure things such as love are replaced by values such as greed. It's not to say that there are no 'love' shows in those countries. But I think media should concentrate less on the drama and more on the positive. Breakups and unfaithful lovers are put on the spot light, while a simple happy family is considered boring and stays in the background. Same goes for books that give you the latest advice on how to dump someone or how to get over being dumped. May be we should see more titles that give advice on how to get your ex boyfriend back. I personally believe that books like that should be more popular than the defeatist attitude ones.
In certain parts of the country 1 out of 3 couples divorces after a mere 2 years of marriage. When will it end? Those are mind blowing statistics! It is almost as if people give up too easily on their current relationships. I think that almost all problems have a solution. Even if one of the union members is cheating, doesn't mean the couple has to breakup. This act of betrayal, could have been provoked by something. Could it have been avoided if the husband was more attentive? Could it be a minor change in the way the couple communicated? I think the 80 / 20 rule applies here too, where as 80 percent of the difference is caused by 20 percent of change. They say that number one reason that makes wives leave is the lack of appreciation.
On that account, I suggest that we cherish each other. Try to be more selfless and your partner will do the same. Let's be tolerant to each other. Let's choose love instead of hate. Because in the end of the day love always prevails.
