No Love Here

Hey guys, today is one of those days where I get to gist you guys about some of the crazy things happening around me.

So I have this friend who always tells us (I and some of my other friends) that being single is way better than being in a relationship. This dude is so convinced to the extent that whenever we bring up this conversation, he always has his key points ready, almost like he's been waiting his whole life to have that conversation.

The one thing he always points out is freedom. According to him, not being in a relationship makes you free to do anything you want. He always describes relationships like it some sort of disguised prison that people walk willingly into.

Although we know most of the things he says are trash because to all of us, he's nothing but a chronic womaniser who probably got cursed from an early age, some of my friends are starting to believe what he says. And this is as a result of one of us getting their heart broken recently.

Apparently, the girlfriend of one of my friends woke up one morning and decided she no longer was interested in dating him. She didn't give him no reason other than she was tired of the relationship and wanted to call it quit. Our friend had ended up coming to us to get consoled and just as we were about bringing him out of the sour mood, we heard another news about a guy who used to live in the same street with us, how he proposed to his girlfriend of four years and she said No.

All of this bad news was nothing but fuel for my womaniser friend who immediately began his sermon on why a man shouldn't be committed to one woman. And now from the looks of things, some of the guys are beginning to pay more attention to him. And even though many of them might not end up womanising like him because we all love our lives and are scared of contacting some incurable disease that this friend of ours probably already has, we just might not be getting into any relationship soon.

One thing I hate so much is heartbreak and I know you can't get your heart broken if you don't let them in it in the first place.

Such is life, you shouldn't be scared of heartbreaks though , it's part of life, JUST don't expect less and dont expect too much from anyone you are relationship with. Heartbreaks actually help us appreciate a better partner when we eventually meet with one.

I don't think I'm scared of it.. I just feel like I have the power to not put myself through the pain of experiencing it.

Sometimes it happens unexpectedly, can you really say you have the power then? This life just tries to strike the balance between good and bad experience, we can't have it only one sided, you just accept life the way it is and move on to the next better or not, life goes on.

If you'll take my advice, life is meant to be enjoyed and felt to the best length so if someone calls it quit it probably means the other partner aren't giving them the vibe they need

But that aside people are less appreciating though, the more you do the less the see or appreciate so if someone leaves you for someone else just tell yourself you have set them free and also yourself. Because it's better to loose them In ordinary relationships, than having them cheat on you later in marriage

I love @glorydee , don't expect too much or less from anyone. 100% trust belongs to our creator alone, so trying to give it to humans will hurt you just more. Enjoy life and enjoy dates, leave fear aside and spread your wings. Do your best for your friend too

Much love 💕💕

I get the "don't trust anyone" reference but should that also apply to our partner?

Shouldn't we be able to trust them?

Thanks for sharing this story with us l. My short contribution goes like this: Relationships cannot be enjoyed by everyone.
Some will have a lovely moment in their relationship while some won't be lucky, it all deals with luck.

My advice to singles is that, give all the best in your relationship, don't cheat on your partner and be loyal, if she wants to stay, she will stay. Don't compare her with anyone but try your best to keep the relationship.

Love is a beautiful thing if both teams are in love with each other unconditionally

Well that's true but we can't escape heartbreak either and many things can lead to it.
Besides your friends view on relationship as a kind of prison is an excuse for him to avoid responsibilities.

Thank you for sharing! :)

Well what if I don't want that kind of responsibilities? 😅

Relationships are more like a trial to see if two persons can accommodate each other in the future. If it doesn't go well, then both parties split ways. If your friend has gotten his heart broken, he should sulk as much as he wants and then try again. Tell your friend not to reduce his moral because of a failed relationship. I'm sure when he finds another partner, he'll be glad this one didn't work out.

As for your womanizing friend... I have no words for him. He should deal with his insecurities tho.

This is true though.. Because that is when we remember that every disappointment is a blessing in disguise 😂😂

It's called fear of the unknown. Am actually hearing this from a guy and am surprise because usually girls are the once that take such decision.
Well my own opinion if it counts, we need each other male and female. From the religious aspect polluting your life with different woman is bad for your spirit. Your health is very important. Finding that one you love is better than 100 women you have to play with.
Life is sweet and short let's enjoy it with the one we love. God's made man, because he knows man needs a companion he made a woman.

Hmmm.. I'm sure if we look at all of this from the religious aspect, then it's best we all stay single 😂.. I get your point though.
