Actually, why do so many marriages collapse nowdays? Because there is no longer any stigma associated with divorce. Oh, you don't like her anymore? Okay, go find a new one. There's no expectation put on people to stick it out and make it work. Instant gratification is the flavor of the day. And lives are torn apart and wrecked and tossed aside in the drive for a thrill.

Real love isn't thrilling unless you make it thrilling. Love takes work and dedication.

And honestly, people are miserable because they don't stick to things. They don't work to keep what they have, they just want bigger, better, faster, harder. There is always a bigger fish.

Our parents and grandparents were not always wrong. And some of their ideals, like those of dedication and sticking with it, are true, noble, worthy ideals that should not be lost. Just because they are our parent's ideals doesn't make them wrong or bad. We are nto children anymore, to rebel simply on principle, even against things that are good and should be kept.

Do you not care that one day he will realize what he has done? Do you not care that one day, he must face this again when the infatuation is gone again? Do you WANT him to one day realize that he is just reliving the same pattern over and over and to be miserable? Care enough to be honest, care enough to stand and tell him that it's not taht simple. Instant gratification never lasts.

Real, genuine love, lasts. Infatuation is just fun, and only for a while.
