I haven’t been pondering over this statement as such, but I don’t think every friend is like that. Some friends & family members are always willing to compromise for the sake of loved ones. They really go out of their way when they don’t have to. However, these days the problem is that everything ends in materialism. Relationships are possible if you benefit each other. Naturally that doesn’t leave much room for those who are still old-fashioned or take relationships too seriously.
Ex or some lousy shit or illegal/fun/whatever activity from the past are bound to create mess. And I guess they have been creating mess ever since time immemorial. It’s nothing new.
However, there are friends, well-wishers & even family members who just don’t want you to settle down. In fact, many a times, they even try that nothing ever happens between the other person & you. I was friends with such people. Anyhow, you get to know the real color sooner or later. However, I was amazed when actor Milind said that he too has some friends & they don’t like any of his girlfriend. The good thing is…he’s married now.
I’m not an expert on relationship, but I think trust in every relationship plays a vital role. There are times when we become friends with old friends again, but it’s not like old times for obvious reason. The point is…whether an ex or some lousy shit from the past or a friend or family…whoever creates mess for you, only you have to pay the price. And it’s never a good experience.
I think friends, family, gf/bf, spouse, do have the right to give their opinion, but they don’t have the right to butt in everywhere. They can’t decide for us & can’t have a say in everything & many a times, they do, & we leave them when we are sick & tired of their suffocating behavior. And it’s not just about relationships, it’s about various other choices we make that are being looked down on for some petty reason. Instead of accepting us the way we are, they just want to change us. Sometimes we just need a bit of moral support & that’s it.
