      It's a sociological epidemic that has come along with social media; the strive for a perfect looking relationship. But if you ask any old couple they will laugh at the idea, to think that a long lasting relationship is possible without any setbacks is ridiculous. It's about overcoming obstacles together, not giving up because you were too afraid to have an honest conversation.

      I recently had drinks with friends from law school. I was the only woman in the group; all others (3) were men. Only one guy is in a relationship, and the rest of us are all single. We're in our early to mid 30s. We all lamented about how difficult it has been to find love, and how heartbreak can really affect you especially at this stage of our life. My friends and I supposedly have successful careers, live in a big city of more than 3 million people, and not too shabby-looking... but it's been tough. There's no way getting around it. I thought I was the only one failing at love (many of my female friends are already engaged, married, and/or have kids), but this video, along with the recent discussion with my friends, have made me realize that love is supposed to be hard -- for better or for worse.

    • @ThisIsMyFullName

      @@summerxwings You have to assess it more, dig a little deeper. What exactly is it that you want from a relationship? Most of your friends who are in relationships probably just want someone they can lean on and have some kids with, and so they are willing to forgo other aspects in order to achieve that. You, on the other hand, might see those same flaws and choose not to ignore them because you want something else. A lot of people are in relationships because they don't know how to be alone, others because they're easily bored, and some because they like to cuddle a lot. It's different for everyone. You have to figure out what it is that you want from a relationship, and the aspects that are less important to you. So instead of looking for someone who's perfect, you can find someone who's 'good enough'.

    Had a mental breakdown at 44 and finally confronted the traumatic, repressive, and deeply toxic childhood that left me thinking that I was a monster for all those years.
    Finally found love for the first time at 46, and its been hard. There's so much I'm still both learning and unlearning, especially around our disabilities, but we take it slowly and treat each other with kindness, patience, love and a whole lot of grace
    Honestly, the hardest part has been learning that I also deserve the grace I so readily give her- especially from myself

    My parents were married for 63 years. Now, when they met, they lived 200 miles/ 320 km away from each other. So, they communicated by letter writing. My Mom was also a Type 1 diabetic her entire life, a complicated disease then and now. Every other weekend, my Dad drove the 6-hours round trip to take my Mom out on dates. He would arrive at her door at 9 AM, because she was a nurse who worked the night shift at a hospital. He wanted to take her out to breakfast for their date. By the example of my parents, I learned that if a man really likes you that much, he will make the effort, he will communicate, he will respect your career. So it seems these days, any little issue or problem is a reason to argue. Any small mistake is a reason to end a relationship. People claim they are 'too busy' to communicate. Someone isn't perfect, or has a medical issue? Well then, why bother dating them at all, or so the mentality is these days. Love feels impossible these days because many have forgotten that Real Love takes time, effort, and kindness.

    My dog is really sick, among other things going on, so I took the time to go fishing with her yesterday. I realized that all life is full of big troubles and small joys. But the small joys are actually the big things. It helps to fully embrace the struggle, even like it, but you must get "right" with it somehow. Like making sure to take time to go fishing/play frisbee with/walk your dog. That's what makes the rest worth fighting for.

    There is only one skill to learn in a relationship - that is to “listen”. We are always impatient to talk our point - and while being impatient waiting for our turn to lash out - we forget to listen first. Do that, and all problems will start to solve. That’s how just after 8 years of marriage, my spouse and I barely ever fight, we understand every detail of each others emotion well, at least we know when to become more observant to listen carefully than being casual.

      I'm hoping you are willing to look for--and find--a way to re-frame your assessment of your experiences so far. That takes deciding to be open to change. Just a tiny change can make a difference--a difference in the way people treat you, a difference in what tomorrow brings you that is surprisingly and refreshingly good, or an opportunity to be of service to someone. Look for someone who is having a difficult time and try to be of assistance, perhaps just a warm smile and an offer to listen to them talk about whatever is on their mind. Just for ten minutes maybe. And just let them know that you care--not that you can fix it, but that you care. Just like the message in this video. Show someone that you understand, and something special just might happen. Take tiny, baby steps towards being the best you can be, and I suspect many good things can come of it.

    I know it's supposed to be a positive video and I agree that most people do struggle in love at some point in their life. However, I don't believe genuinely compatible and happy couples are that rare. Certainly not rare enough to be less than 1% of the global population. The thing is you can learn all the skills and try all the effort but if two people are fundamentally incompatible based on strong personality differences, temperament and values, it will lead to endless cycles of conflict that are extremely painful and never resolved. No matter how clear you are in explaining how something hurts you, it never reaches the natural understanding from the other person instead it often makes them call you 'overly sensitive' and 'too difficult.' The issues are never resolved. Love is an absolutely crucial foundation but being compatible with the person you love is extremely important because that makes communication easier and more fruitful as well as leads to the willingness of both people to neither endlessly speak over the other nor make them feel unheard when things are less than perfect.

      @@vebdaklu That's trying to defend an inaccurate statistic. I am not saying that the percentage of unhappy couples isn't more than happy ones. That's absolutely true. However, the statistic that only 1% of humanity is enjoying happy and fulfilled relationships is an obvious exaggeration. I definitely know more than 1% of people in happy marriages. Regardless, it's not about your or my anecdotal experiences. That's not what the video says. The video makes a claim about 1% out of everyone in the world. While most of us do struggle in relationships in our lives, that doesn't mean none of our relationships work or that we never find compatible people. Even if you personally know less than 1% of truly happy couples and so does every one else, it's still more than 1% of humanity. That's an exaggeration we don't need to engage in when the reality is difficult enough as it is.

    One thing I learnt is following: Lonliness leads to the core of our Personality, which defines us truly and shows us, how we are when noone cares or sees your actions. If you cannot be alone, you can't love. If you can't love, you have never lived.
    Still, this goddamn pain exists, and it's not little.

    We live in an age where being single has reached it's historical peak, and some are a alarmed by this - but I think it is a good thing. The planet is overcrowded as it is, and this surge of singlehood could very well be mother-nature telling us to slow down. We should be more focused on building friendships and communities, not finding a mate. If we don't heed that, I'm afraid we will set up another artificial cleansing like WWII was, so we can have an excuse again to procreate like rabbits.
    I am 36 and single. I find no lack of joy in not having a partner right now, or ever again. Life has so much more to offer than romantic love or sexual intercourse. Sure, those are very nice things, but a lot of other things are also.

    My husband from Canada, I'm from Russia. We started to date in 2020, having chatting and video calls everyday. COVID restrictions and war in 2022 made for us difficult to meet each other in real life. He couldn't get his passport for travelling abroad almost year... I kept passionately waiting him. We had the first meeting in 2023 in Turkey for 25 days, then we could marry in Turkey in the second trip. Now is 2024, I still can't be with him, because we're waiting his taxes checked from tax office since December. It's for my spousal visa to Canada.
    We can't implement our love and care to each other fully.

      Don't confuse love with convenience. Even if you were living together in the same country, there would be something else that was inconvenient. See this as an opportunity to make your relationship with each other stronger, so when you're finally living together one day, you have a good foundation for when future problems arise.

    • @jejo63660

      Just my opinion but culturally in this moment we go so far to discourage harassment that we inadvertently discourage normal and well intentioned interactions. People throw a blanket statement “Don’t approach people in public!” In order to stop harassment, but in reality that only stops the *normal* people who would approach others in public; the people with bad intentions were never going to listen to that advice anyway.
      It is of course not a good thing to make someone else uncomfortable, but it is a reality of being human; the most important thing that you can do in interactions is to *recognize* that you are making someone uncomfortable, and give them plenty of ways to decline and exit the conversation. In my opinion creepiness is not when you make someone uncomfortable, it is when you make someone uncomfortable without knowing & recognizing that you’re doing so. So i’d say that being able to recognize if someone is or isn’t enjoying the interaction and giving them many ways of exiting are the most important things we should be encouraging.

      Look for body language signs that's inviting, like looking in your direction multiple times, smiling, flicking of hair, toes facing towards you, or keeping in close proximity to you. Smile and act approachable, as if you were to speak with a child. Keep eye contact, but don't stare. Tilt your head a little to the side to seem inquisitive and somewhat submissive. If the person you speak to is being resentful, don't take it personally, it was probably just bad timing. Either their mind was on something else, or they weren't in a mood for a conversation.

    Seen a lot of fallouts in my family circle so i am not too certain if true love really exists for me or not.

    I find that love is very easy. In fact, it’s the easiest thing in the world. What is difficult, perhaps even impossible, is maintaining a harmonious relationship with those who haven’t aquired any emotional intelligence. People obsessed with their “authenticity” (when it means lack of learnt emotional intelligence) are the hardest to have a relationship with. You can still love them, that’s easy. But you sure cannot sustain a relationship.

      There was this couple I was slightly familiar with. You'd say they were perfectly married. Yet just being close to the two of them you'd see the woman made the guy's life miserable. She spent nearly all her time putting him down. Basically criticized every single thing he said. It was obvious he loved her (otherwise why would he put up with that?) but I would never say she loved him. She obviously loved to control him, to have a puppet by her side. But since he wasn't a puppet, she ranted her life away.
