It is a misnomer that every one wants to
fall in love. It is a different feeling to be falling in love and
sustaining a relationship. Relationships are hard work because they are
complicated. And some people think why to do all this hard work. Is is
really worth the effort? And why do relationships have to be so
difficult? After all, we get everything easy these days. Would it not be
easy if ‘love’ and relationships also became easy.
However, relationships are hard work but
it is the tough part of relationships that makes them come alive. If a
relationship was not difficult to sustain, it could become boring. And
yet, being in a relationship takes so much out of you. Sometimes, you
have to be in a relationship at the cost of your career or even
yourself.Here are some reasons why relationships are hard work.
Reasons why relationships are hard work are:
1.They Are Time Consuming:
You need lots of time to be in a relationship. You have to go for
dates, movies, dinners and ‘make’ time for each other. For busy
professionals who do not have time to sleep, that is a lot of time
‘wasted’ in frivolity.
2.Brain Work:
Relationships involve a lot of thinking. You have to constantly think
from your partner’s perspective which is very difficult and again time
consuming. You have to think what might hurt your partner or make them
happy which requires more brain work than rocket science.
3.The Gender Wars: If
you really want to know why relationships are so difficult, then there
is a very simple explanation. This is because we are usually in a
relationship with the opposite sex. Men cannot understand women and vice
versa.
4.They Affect Your Productivity:
When you are in a relationship, you have to take time out from your
work or studies to be with the person you love. That affects your
productivity as a professional or student and takes you away from your
goal in life.
5.Taxes Your Memory:
Being in a relationship is like playing a tough memory game. You have to
remember birthdays, anniversaries, dinner dates. If you hated dates in
history, do not get into a relationship.
6.Conflict Is Inevitable:
No matter how much ‘nice’ you become or how ‘hard’ you try, conflict is
inevitable in every relationship. Having fights not only wastes your
time but also drains you physically and emotionally. That is why
relationships are hard work.
7.You have To Keep Innovating:
Being in a relationship is like holding a key creative role in research
and development. You have to research on what your partner likes and
based on your ground work, you must come up with new ways to keep the
relationship interesting.
8.There Is No Guarantee Of Success:
There is no insurance to protect your assets and investments in a
relationship. No matter how hard you work to make a relationship work
out, you might always get ditched in the end.
These are the reasons why relationships are hard work
