couple-fight**************************************************************************

He: “I am so sorry honey. I promise that was the last time. I will not touch a drop of liquor. And never ever will I harm you again!”

She: “It’s just a small bruise. But I am so happy about your promise. I know things will get better once you quit drinking.”

**************************************************************************

She: “I can’t go on like this! You’ve changed in the last 2 years. There is nothing about me that you like. I feel like I am being judged all the time.

Like I have to live up to your expectations!”

He: “Then break-up if you want to. I couldn’t care less. I am tired of your constant whining too!”

She: “I think you’re right. We should break up. Don’t call me. And I never want to see your face again!”

1 week later…

He: “Hi, how are you?”

She: “I have been missing you. I think breaking up was a mistake. We can work on our problems”

He: “OK, if that’s what you want…”

**************************************************************************

He: “Marrying you was the first decision of my life! If only, I had the guts to stand up to my parents, and tell them that I love someone else, things would’ve been different.”

She: “Why are you telling me this now? You think I am happy with this marriage?”

He: “Then file for divorce. You’ve made my life a living hell.”

She: “Divorce you? And then what, go back to my parents and be a burden to them. Face the taunts and whispers of society! I don’t think so.”

He: “So, then what? We should stay in this marriage just because of our parents and society?”

**************************************************************************

P.S. Relationships can be like double choke or any other wrestling hold.

With both the partners unwilling to let go, knowing all the while that if they continue to hold on, they might end up hurting the other person or even themselves. At times, society or external factors force them to hold on to each other and at other times it’s their own decision. When the wrestling match ends, do the opponents forget that they were at each others’ throats just a while ago and go back to normal? Or do they remain opponents forever?
