Romanticism ruins love in so many ways. We expect love to constantly be constant despite all the
changes an individual goes through in a relationship. We expect no matter how different we are now
than who we were when we fell in love, we expect the feeling of love to remain.
Romanticism ruins love in so many ways. We are expected to love a person as a whole, accept every crevice of flaw that our significant other has even though we know that we cannot be okay with the
fact that our significant other never shuts the drawer until it’s end. Even though we know that we will never be okay if our significant other throws their towel on the floor right after shower. We should be allowed to express our not-okay-ness because we can adapt, our partners could realize that these habits make us uncomfortable and try to adapt.

the towels.

Romanticism ruins love in so many ways. We expect ourselves to love to no end. Falling out of love
is not a question, is not a thing and is not something has any correlation to love whatsoever. Hence,
we never acknowledge the foreign feeling that is trying to get out of our system, to let us know that
we do not love this significant other anymore. We do not want to be with this significant other
anymore. This significant other is no longer significant, this person is just other person. Romanticism led us to believe that falling out of love is not reason to leave our that person. So we cheat, we lie, we curse, we blame and we just let ourselves to be what we never want to be, unkind. Because being
unkind is a far kinder way to leave someone than admitting that we fall out of love.
I know love. I have felt love. I have loved love. And I have endured love.
But I fell out of it.
Do not tell me that I do know love. Don’t you dare tell me that I do not know love for falling out of
love is the greatest knowledge one can gain from loving.
