Couples

Lately, I’ve noticed that relationships these days tend to last much less than they used to. People don’t seem to look for something serious and stable anymore, but rather something fleeting, something temporary. And honestly, that makes me wonder—why is that?

Many people blame social media, but I’m not fully convinced. Sure, these platforms give us access to meet more people, but that alone doesn’t explain the lack of commitment. I think it has more to do with the mindset of our generation: relationships are no longer seen with the same seriousness as before, almost as if they were easily replaceable.

I even notice that some people get into relationships not because they truly care for the other person, but simply to avoid being alone. That turns the relationship into more of an emotional band-aid than something genuine.

Still, I’d be lying if I said I don’t believe long-lasting, monogamous relationships are the most valuable. They may not be the most common nowadays, but they still hold a deep meaning and a weight that often gets lost in the fleeting.
