‘How to get my ex boyfriend back’ vs ‘ Getting over your ex’

February 24, 2009 | By In Women |

Love is on everybody’s mind. I sometimes get the impression that everything evolves around it. 80% of what’s projected from the television screens deals with the topic. Right around the corner is the next love series like the O.C. Even the history channel will talk about some queens medieval affair. Books are no different. The romantic section is probably one of the biggest ones and titles like how to get your ex back are readily available. Entertainment publications, talk about about celebrities. Most of these celebrities took part in a movie that was about love.

But this obsession with the topic has been there for centuries and I don’t think it will change any time soon.

Some people might see it as something negative. I personally think it’s great. I actually think that some industrialized countries should concentrate more on love. These countries see a diminishing population. In many of those countries people think more about their work and how they will succeed in life. While in reality success is often a matter of having a good family. T.V and Radio pays more attention to one’s wallet size than the family size. Don’t get me wrong, ‘romantic’ shows still get a lot of air time there too. Too bad that many of these shows display romance in a negative light. They show cheating adventures of a husband as if it was the norm. Why not show a faithful husband that comes home to spend time with his kids. We see the same trend in printed media. There are now more and more books that explain how to get over a bad breakup. Titles that talk about how to get your ex boyfriend back are rare and far between. In my humble opinion those things will do more good than harm.

Southern parts of the U.S have staggering separation rates (1 in 3 separate. This is too much. It’s as if people decide to jump the ship and shop elsewhere too quickly. I think that almost all problems have a solution. If the wife is cheating it does not mean the husband needs to breakup right away. There must be a reason for this infidelity. May be it was caused by a grave mistake on the part of the husband? 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 appreciation.

On that account, I suggest that we cherish each other. Let’s look beyond things that differentiate us and concentrate on things that unite us. Let’s be tolerant to each other. Let’s choose love instead of hate. For we shall pass here but once.
