cant really remember my opinion when i initially posted here, but yea here what i think of such relationships now
it depends on what you want out of such relationships
Theres one type of relationships, the most popular one in highschool and pre-U and to some extent also in uni, back home we call it Masik Zaman, or Holding Time, basically both parties are fully convinced that they are entering a relationship that is bound to end with a break up (and not marriage), where basically both parties just need someone to care for them or they want to take care of someone.
Such relationships are fun and nice and whatnot, but it tells a lot about how weak you are
Another type is friends with benefit. Basically no emotions, just boom boom. Makes me lose faith in humanity when i think of those.
A third type, and this i would like anyone to oppose, is when seeing someone of the opposite sex as a potential life partner, you get to know him, slowly fall in love with, spontaneously enter a relationship, and as time passes by it gets more and more serious and eventually sees a proposal and a marriage.
While I mainly avoid judging people based on their relationships, the first two types of relationships i find demeaning to the partner, and it always will somehow end up becoming a phantom that will chase you throughout your life
third type is one i viciously agree with, but people need to keep in mind things such as religious backgrounds before allowing themselves into entering one,those who do not, then i see they lie to themselves, and i will actually categorize such relationships as belonging to the first category rather than the third.
