Are we ready for that kind of relationship?

Yes folks. Today's blog would be another one of my thought-provoking question on life and love. I just had quite a chat with a friend of mine. As outgoing as she seems, she ended up opening up to me all her pain that she was enduring all these while. (sounds so like me by the way..)
Apparently, my dear friend has been quite in the mud on how to deal with this one boy she was with. You know, those relationship-in-a-puddle-of-mud kinda thingy? Like, you don't know where this is heading. Like, you don't know what to do right now. Like, everything is just not the same anymore, not fun anymore. So we ask ourselves once again, are we ready for that kind of relationship?
She even told me about her ex, who is her best friend now. She did ask him this one peculiar and interesting question after their relationship fiasco. She asked, "Did you ever love another while we were together?" Pretty much of an innocent question isn't it? But, quite a heavy one too, seeing how she had totally guilt-trap this guy. Anyway, this was the guy's reply, "Yes, I did, but I didn't meet her at all because we were together."
Noble answer indeed, young man. And now for the second trap!
My friend asked again, "Did you do it out of responsibility or you didn't meet her because you have forgotten about her?" Now, this, is the final touch on the masterpiece. I find this one question truly truly thought-provoking. And, as it seems, this poor guy couldn't quite answer for awhile and he ended up saying, "I did it out of responsibility." But oh well, either way it's a die-die situation for him.. I mean, girls are good at guilt-trapping guys.
So here's the conclusion. You date a girl, and didn't meet another because of RESPONSIBILITY? So, what if someone did indeed cheat? Is he irresponsible? But saying that you've forget about the other girl would totally be lying wouldn't it? Haha.
Still, when questions like this arise, we ask ourselves once again, as I have mentioned before, are we ready for that kind of relationship? I seem to find the younger generation nowadays seem to take love easy, something which I don't quite approve. Just the other day, I've heard another friend asking an opinion on how to handle a partner who flirts with another person too much till it's unbecoming and uncomfortable. You can't blame someone for flirting can you? It's a kind of boost for their self-esteem to be admired and wanted, but a dose of jealousy is good too, and do let them know you are envy (NOT JEALOUS) of their actions because you think it's unhealthy for your relationships. Also, emotionally-wise, it makes them realise that they are wanted and eventually, leading to a sense of stability, reliance and protection.
Though, back to my ranting, I see people nowadays coupling like nobody's business. It's like, you can be with this girl AND another girl at the same time, thinking it's just a sheer game where you will continue winning as long as no one finds out. Isn't this just.... WRONG?! The kind of mentality embedded in our younger generations is just.. stupid, to say the least, if not irresponsible. Is he ready to be responsible for the outcome should anything untoward happens? Not forgetting the fact that humans nowadays have a more fragile mind that shatters like a glass with a simple blow of crushed relationship, and WHAM!! Commit suicide... again.
I guess this is as much as I would say now, knowing that some people actually bothered listening. Anyway, thanks for reading this little breath of mine.
