what is your honest opinion on this? :/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68l-bFezK4U (background on kalel's last 4 year relationship: dated for about 3 years, engaged for 6 months, then broke up)
I agree with some of the statements they made e.g. how it's possible to create time for yourself and still be in a relationship (although I think it can be pretty challenging) and that you'll only know if you're compatible with someone in the long run if you're together in the long run (or something along those lines). regarding the rest of the video, I feel they're simply justifying why they aren't staying single. One of the reasons being, everyone needs a strong companion and for them, they prefer it to be their boyfriend instead of family member or friends and that having a boyfriend is the ultimate bond for them. & to Anna I think her boyfriends are usually her best friends? I don't really agree with the boyfriends being your best friends kinda thing because if you were to change your boyfriend 3 times a year, are you changing your best friend 3 times a year too? I think a relationship can be really intimate to the extent where you tell your partner everything and anything but that doesn't mean they're equivalent to your best friend. Friendships and relationships (at least for me) are based on very different things haha & I'm not so sure about "I really like you, let's just be together (when you've just met)" thing because seems to me it's really mostly just lust. but I guess if this is some people's way of "experiencing life" and getting to know people then good for them :-) one last thing though, I think Anna mentioned you only know what you want but not what you need until you experience it and kayle added on about how "ooooo so this is how it's supposed to feel like" errrrrr it sounds to me they are constantly searching for someone who is exactly compatible to them/someone who can fulfil all their needs but (with my little experience in relationships) I would like to say that real love is a choice!!! (to quote tkw) and when someone isn't as compatible to you as you think they are, you don't simply give up on them and try to find someone new. like if you're a farmer, your soil isn't fertile enough you don't simply go around buying land everywhere!! you add fertilisers and try to make it work!! HAHAHAHA ok WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID^^^^ , it's all just my opinion and I do not mean to offend anyone!!
