My say on...

How long do you need to know someone before you know that they are the right partner for you or not?

Even a life time doesn’t suffice if u wanna know someone. People change, all the time. Their behavior is very much dependent on the circumstances. But to decide if the person in front of you is the one you wish to spend your entire life with doesn’t actually need you to know him/her. You can conclude this without ever meeting him/her before. All you need is patience and tolerance towards all the things you find wrong with him/her and love for all the things you find right. It’s your attitude and not the other persons that makes you wanna spend time with others.

What do you do when you realise through an accidental email or sms or phone call that your partner is cheating on you. Do you leave immediately? Do you fight out for yourself? Do you ask him/her to come back? Do you hang on for the sake of the kids if that is the case?
When love and trust is lost from a relationship then what is the point in fighting or striving to patch up such a relationship. May be your partner strayed coz he/she found you lost/lacked something they were looking for. If that is true then why weren’ you informed of the same? You’d get a chance to probably try to change. If you were informed then did you put in efforts to satisfy your partner?? If not then your partner can’t be accused of cheating, can (s)he be??

If you realise that your partner is cheating on you, in a loveless relationship/marriage, does that justify you cheating too? Or does it remain as wrong?

What kept you and your partner together earlier?? Love, lust, pressure from parents/children or your insecurity. Is that thing still alive?? Then I guess you wouldn’t yet dare to cheat.

And yes, you are right “Maybe being attracted is not betrayal, but acting on that attraction is.” Succumbing to your desires is animal behavior. We are superior to other animals only because we have a far developed brain as compared to.

What do you do when you need the world to escape from that one person who once was your escape from the world?

This is my worst nightmare. I wish for love and life. I can accommodate hate, pain and anguish. But I won’t be able to pull through the idea of evading/avoiding the one you were in love with, once upon a time.

I would like to have a full fledged post on the topic triggered in this post but lack of time allows me to write only so much.
