We\u2019re not prepared for the sacrifices, for the compromises, for the unconditional love. We\u2019re not ready to invest all that it takes to make a relationship work. We want everything easy. We\u2019re quitters. All it takes is a single hurdle to make us crumble to our feet. We don\u2019t let our love grow, we let go before time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"articleimg\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img id=\"ed-img\" class=\"art-lazy imwidth-full aligncenter\" title=\"Why Modern Relationships Never Last\" src=\"http:\/\/media.new.mensxp.com\/media\/content\/2016\/Feb\/why-modern-relationships-never-last2-1454677873.jpg\" alt=\"Why Modern Relationships Never Last\" data-original=\"http:\/\/media.new.mensxp.com\/media\/content\/2016\/Feb\/why-modern-relationships-never-last2-1454677873.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s not love we\u2019re looking for, only excitement and thrill in life. We want someone to watch movies and party with, not someone who understands us even in our deepest silences. We spend time together, we don\u2019t make memories. We don\u2019t want the boring life. We don\u2019t want a partner for life, just someone who can make us feel alive right now, this very instant. When the excitement fades, we discover nobody ever prepared us for the mundane. We don\u2019t believe in the beauty of predictability because we\u2019re too blinded by the thrill of adventure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"articleimg\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img id=\"ed-img\" class=\"art-lazy imwidth-full aligncenter\" title=\"Why Modern Relationships Never Last\" src=\"http:\/\/media.new.mensxp.com\/media\/content\/2016\/Feb\/why-modern-relationships-never-last3-1454677897.jpg\" alt=\"Why Modern Relationships Never Last\" data-original=\"http:\/\/media.new.mensxp.com\/media\/content\/2016\/Feb\/why-modern-relationships-never-last3-1454677897.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We immerse ourselves in the inconsequentials of the city life, leaving no space for love. We don\u2019t have time to love, we don\u2019t have the patience to deal with relationships. We\u2019re busy people chasing materialistic dreams and there\u2019s no scope to love.

We want the maturity in a relationship that comes with time, the emotional connect that develops over years, that sense of belonging when we barely even know the other person. Apparently, nothing\u2019s worth our time and patience \u2013 not even love.<\/p>\n<p class=\"articleimg\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img id=\"ed-img\" class=\"art-lazy imwidth-full aligncenter\" title=\"Why Modern Relationships Never Last\" src=\"http:\/\/media.new.mensxp.com\/media\/content\/2016\/Feb\/why-modern-relationships-never-last5-1454678013.jpg\" alt=\"Why Modern Relationships Never Last\" data-original=\"http:\/\/media.new.mensxp.com\/media\/content\/2016\/Feb\/why-modern-relationships-never-last5-1454678013.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We\u2019d rather spend an hour each with a hundred people than spending a day with one. We believe in having \u2018options\u2019. We\u2019re \u2018social\u2019 people. We believe more in meeting people than getting to know them. We\u2019re greedy. We want to have everything. We get into relationships at the slightest attraction and step out, the moment we find someone better. We don\u2019t want to bring out the best in that one person. We want them to be perfect. We date a lot of people but rarely give any of them a real chance. We\u2019re disappointed in everyone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"articleimg\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img id=\"ed-img\" class=\"art-lazy imwidth-full aligncenter\" title=\"Why Modern Relationships Never Last\" src=\"http:\/\/media.new.mensxp.com\/media\/content\/2016\/Feb\/why-modern-relationships-never-last6-1454678039.jpg\" alt=\"Why Modern Relationships Never Last\" data-original=\"http:\/\/media.new.mensxp.com\/media\/content\/2016\/Feb\/why-modern-relationships-never-last6-1454678039.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Technology has brought us closer, so close that it\u2019s impossible to breathe.

Everyone is commitment phobic. We believe we\u2019re not meant for relationships. We don\u2019t want to settle down. Even the thought of it is scary. We cannot imagine being with one person for the rest of our lives. We walk away. We despise permanence like its some social evil. We like to believe we\u2019re \u2018different\u2019 than the rest. We like to believe we don\u2019t conform to social norms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"articleimg\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img id=\"ed-img\" class=\"art-lazy imwidth-full aligncenter\" title=\"Why Modern Relationships Never Last\" src=\"http:\/\/media.new.mensxp.com\/media\/content\/2016\/Feb\/why-modern-relationships-never-last8-1454678091.jpg\" alt=\"Why Modern Relationships Never Last\" data-original=\"http:\/\/media.new.mensxp.com\/media\/content\/2016\/Feb\/why-modern-relationships-never-last8-1454678091.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We\u2019re a generation that calls itself \u2018sexually liberated\u2019. We can tell sex apart from love, or so we think. We\u2019re the hook-up-break-up generation. We have sex first and then decide if we want to love someone. Sex comes easy, loyalty doesn\u2019t. Getting laid has become the new getting drunk. You do it not because you love the other person, but because you want to feel good. It\u2019s all the temporary fulfillment we need. Sex outside relationships isn\u2019t a taboo anymore. Relationships aren\u2019t that simple anymore. There are open relationships, friends with benefits, causal flings, one-night stands, no strings attached \u2013 we\u2019ve left very little exclusivity for love in our lives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"articleimg\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img id=\"ed-img\" class=\"art-lazy imwidth-full aligncenter\" title=\"Why Modern Relationships Are Falling Apart So Easily Today\" src=\"http:\/\/media.new.mensxp.com\/media\/content\/2016\/Feb\/why-modern-relationships-never-last10-1454679100.jpg\" alt=\"Why Modern Relationships Are Falling Apart So Easily Today\" data-original=\"http:\/\/media.new.mensxp.com\/media\/content\/2016\/Feb\/why-modern-relationships-never-last10-1454679100.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We\u2019re the practical generation who runs by logic alone.

We lurk from behind walls we\u2019ve created ourselves, looking for love and running away the moment we really find it. We suddenly \u2018cannot handle it\u2019. We don\u2019t want to be vulnerable.
