If she leaves me....

It is one of the most clichéd statements in the world.” If he/she leaves me my life is over” yet it keeps happening a thousand times over and over again. How fabulous to have loved so deeply, to have felt such incredible passion, yearning and madness. After a decade of walking down the aisle and promising to be together for better or for worse, the possibility of a joyous life together now seems meaningless. A few years of emotional attachment with a love interest does not work out the way we thought it would.

Does marriage give people the right to keep someone forcibly in a relationship that makes no sense any more, if the hearts are not in together? Domination in a relationship is self defeating (except in the bedroom) no one likes being told what to do, so acting like a dictator only worsens the situation. It is a sort of emotional blackmail, a mindset, if someone thinks they can have their way, all the way, though that’s part of human fallibility too.
Relationships are about two people and if one wants to opt out he/she should be allowed to move out and not held back by the glue of marriage. Each one should be free to make their own decisions and also face the consequences of these decisions. They should have the freedom to go out and search for a relationship that can bring the magic back into their lives.
