Disillusioned romantic.
<p>We now treat loyalty like foolishness and back up options like wisdom. It is sad that the chains of being accountable to one person while in a relationship are regarded so poorly. People say, “So as not to feel the pain if he eventually falls out of love, it is required that you have more than one person to be tagged with the name 'babe'.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Loyalty is not being appreciated, even in a relationship that is trying to gain its ground. The common statement “Men are scum” has been used as a loophole by ladies to expand their relationships, just as the phrase “Women are wicked” has given men a reason to see their partners as cheaters.</p><p><br/></p><p>Not that it’s all false, but these phrases have been wrongly interpreted to cover up the excesses of both partners—those who have gone outside due to selfishness or situationships they failed to address. They hide under the preferred and soothing tag of “bestie,” “HB,” or “HG,” even to the extent of being “just a friend,” serving as what sociologists call “backburner partners.”</p><p><br/></p><p>That these excesses cannot be controlled and are let to roam free is where we have lost it. Loyalty is being treated as a high-risk investment—which it is—resulting in people diversifying their portfolios, terrified of the total loss that comes with being with one person if they eventually leave is what this generation has become. </p>
