THE MYTHS of Relationships
Rhiannon Elizabeth Irons
We live in a world where ideals and expectations are passed down, not just through generations, but through media. Books, movies, television shows and even music have given us an idea on how relationships should be. We ' ve all heard the stories of impossible situations always working out for everyone involved. Whether it is an affair to remember where the married partner leaves their other half for the one they ' re cheating with or after years of not communicating, that old flame decides to call and reignite. When it comes to relationships, what ' s myth and what ' s real?
Myth 1: Once A Cheater, Always A Cheater
Most women( and some men) will support this myth wholeheartedly but the fact is, people can change. It won’ t happen overnight, but at some point most of these‘ cheaters’ realize that their wicked little ways has cost them one of the best things in their life. If they are serious about changing, then they will find a way to contact the one who they feel they hurt the most and will try to make amends. This doesn’ t apply to all cheaters, of course.
Myth 2: If He / She Doesn ' t Call It Means They’ re Not Interested
We ' ve all had these doubts run through our minds when we ' ve had what we thought was an amazing first date. As we wait by the phone, we start to wonder if our amazing date was viewed the same way by the other party involved. But rather then thinking“ Oh he / she is just not into me” why not consider that they are also sitting at home, staring at the phone, wondering when they ' re going to hear from you. Be bold, make the first move. Show that you ' re not afraid of taking a chance. If they are truly not interested, then they shouldn ' t be afraid to say so to you.
