Summer Holidays Could Make Or Break Relationships

Can you still recall how you fell in love with your partner?  Generally speaking, falling in love is easy.  A romantic dinner or simply being together every day could be enough to fall in love.  Would you agree?  However, staying in love is another thing.  You see, it has to be a give and take relationship but people are different and love will not always be enough to keep a couple together.  I do believe that friendship is a very good foundation as this will already be an avenue to know each other on a deeper level, even before a couple decides to advance the relationship.  There’s also a saying that goes this way, “Love is fragile.  Sadly, we’re not always the best caretakers.”  True, indeed.  Sometimes, we say that we love a particular person so much but our actions may not be enough to prove it.  Can you relate to this?

Well, this is one thing that I learned from my past experiences.  When I was in college, I entered a relationship.  Yes, we were happy together and we would often express how much we loved each other.  But, one day, my boyfriend opened up.  He told me that  he didn’t feel me reciprocating his love.  Then, he explained to me some instances that made him say this.  I had to admit that I was guilty.  I realized that he was giving me too much but I gave back much less.  However, this was resolved.  We tried to talk about it and I really gave my best to save the relationship.  By the time we graduated, we were almost always together since we were not so busy anymore with our studies.  We even decided to go on a vacation, thinking that it would help reignite the love between us.  However, things went awfully wrong which eventually caused our break up.  I do not exactly know how but the vacation served as an eye opener for both of us.  It made us realize that we really were not meant to be together.  We’re just so different in so many ways.

On the other hand, the couple who went with us gained so much benefit from that vacation.  I, personally, witnessed how sweet they were to each other each day and how much they expressed their love.  So, from that vacation, you can see  two different possible outcomes.  This just goes to show that vacations have varying effects on partners’ lives.
