“How to get my ex boyfriend back” Versus “How to get over an ex”

Love is over the place. I sometimes get the impression that everything evolves around it. 80% of what’s projected from the television screens deals with the topic. There will always be another Dr.Phil giving a relationship advice or another desperate house wife cheating on her husband before the big breakup. We see the same trend on Amazon. You can find a lot of books that promise advice on how to get over an ex or even how to get your ex boyfriend back. In yellow press celebrities are hunted down by paparazzi. They publish information about celebrity breakups and cheating.

 

It’s so evident that it’s not even worth mentioning. We are clearly preoccupied by romance.

Please don’t think I’m against it. On the contrary I’m all for love and think people should talk about it more, but in a slightly different form. I actually think that some industrialized countries should concentrate more on love. Their population is declining. There, a lot of people are more preoccupied with their careers and less with the family. Pure things such as love are replaced by values such as greed. Don’t get me wrong, “romantic” shows still get a lot of air time there too. But I think media should concentrate less on the negative and more on the positive. Breakups and unfaithful lovers are put on the spot light, while a simple happy family is considered boring and stays in the background. Same goes for books that give you the latest advice on how to dump someone or how to get over being dumped. Why is it so hard to find a book that will explain how to fix a relationship and help you get your lover back after a bad breakup? I personally believe that books like that should be more popular than the defeatist attitude ones.

 

In some US states there are a divorce rates of 40%. When will this end? Those are mind blowing statistics! Did people stop trying to fix their problems and simply abandon ship? I think that almost all problems have a solution. Even if one of the union members is cheating, doesn’t mean the couple has to breakup. This act of betrayal, must have been provoked by something. Is it something that husband did not do? Could this be a one time thing, that can be prevented if the couple establishes a better spiritual connection? I think the 80 / 20 rule applies here too, where as 80 percent of the difference is caused by 20 percent of change. They say that number one reason that makes wives leave is the lack of attention on behalf of the husband.

On that account, I suggest that we cherish each other. Try to be more selfless and your partner will do the same. Let us try to listen and understand. Let’s choose affection instead of resentment. Because in the end of the day love always prevails.
