Relationships should not be difficult


I have been through various situations where I felt that relationships could not have gotten any more difficult. I just paused and thought to myself, it is we people who make relationships tough to handle. But, we conveniently blame it on the relationship itself or the other person in the relationship. Each of us are such complex creatures when we are in a relationship that it gets really painful for both the people involved in it.

Sometimes, we all feel that relationships are not our cup of tea after going through a rough patch. But the strength in one's character is not in letting our failures affect us to an extent that we loose our faith in people. We do learn a lot from every situation or circumstances in our lives. Most importantly, we understand that relationships dont define us, we define or choose our relationships.

Especially women who have gone through a terrible relationship may feel that dating isn't worth anymore. Probably watching "He just not that into you" would be an eye opener for any woman out there. Looking forward to reading this book :-)

So, do not be under the misconception that relationships are complex. It is we people who make it complex, so look at ways in which you could make your life a lot simpler as we have many relationships to deal with in our lives of being a mother, sister, friend, wife, girlfriend etc
