Between Love and Hate

I can't believe that shows like Cheaters and Moment of Truth exist. Why should they in the first place?

Shouldn't the bond between a man and woman called marriage be something so sacred that violating it is unheard of?

Have we really gone to the point where this so called "bond" isn't?

If you're just going to cheat on your spouse, why get married in the first place?

Well, I understand that not all of the situations have to deal with marriage. But... does it really matter? When you commit to someone, you put your trust in them and you pray they don't break it; this holds true for your significant other. This relationship you have with someone else is truly a magnificent thing, a bond that only you two share.

Regardless of status, you should just say upfront if you are no longer interested and would like to separate. Yea, I get that some of these things... you don't walk away from (aka marriage, knocking up someone, etc.), but on dating...is it really that hard? I mean, ok sure, breakups can be messy and can lead to real messy conflicts. Understandable, I mean you've probably seen this. But I think that you should break it off rather than crush a persons heart by cheating on them. I mean, how devastating would it be to find out someone that you love has been out loving someone else and treating you like just desserts?

On the part about marriages... infidelity is..well, I think its one of the worst things you could do, especially if you have children. You know why? Because of divorces. I know infidelity does not always lead to divorce, and there are multiple causes to divorce... but if you were to check out why divorces are made, I'm pretty sure infidelity is pretty high up on the "why" list.

I think divorces are terrible. At the same time, I understand that sometimes they are a necessity. My parent's divorce was. And it totally screwed me up. I am unfortunately the product of a divorce family. There was (and still is) speculation of infidelity, but also it was the way my father treated my mother. My mom and dad were divorced when I was 6 years old.

Divorce takes a toll on everyone, but I can only say what it did for me. Man, divorce really screwed me up. I cant count how many times I've always longed for a family with mom and dad in the same house, and everyone is happy. On occasion, I do this now but... not often. There are a lot of other things it did but... now's not the time. I'll tell you later, I promise.

I think I went off topic for a bit but still... I hate how people just treat marriage and relationships like nothing. How they easily break bonds with people they supposedly love, and then immediately run off with someone else.

In this sense, people treat love like its nothing, which is worrying. The way "love" is thrown around demeans it to the point where it virtually means nothing.

For example:

"Oh I loooove chocolate ice cream :D:D:D:D:F:D:A:D!!!!!11111111111111oneoneoneonoenoneoneonoene."
"Liek, oh my gawdd this dress is fab I tots love it"

...Yea

I'll admit, I'll use love in this context, but I try not to. But... it seems like love has become just a word that is just a stronger form of "like." Which again, is depressing. Love is everything, and nothing at the same time. Love overcomes. Love is acceptance regardless of anything. Love is powerful. Love does not discriminate.

Love is.

What is love?

Baby don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. No more.
