Why do people stop networking when they are in a committed relationship?

Only to realize that after they break up, they can complain about how much they sacrificed when they were in one. Most people are pretty much lost when they have exited from their relationships. Reason being, they never had a healthy relationship in the first place.

Couple of pointers
Staying friends with people of opposite genders – healthy
Flirting with them – Unhealthy
Meeting new people of opposite genders – Healthy
Lying to them about your relationship/Marital status – Unhealthy
Getting their number for future reference when the relationship/marital status changes – Healthy

The pitch I am going for is very simple.
Love your partner and treat the other like a prince/princess, but always prepare for the eventuality. Always have your back up plan sorted. It’s easier to move on and saves your friends a lot of time and trouble.
This way we can also stop an end to the ‘men are dogs and women are bitches’ debate. Who are we kidding?? Men and Women can't live with each other and at the same time can’t live without each other.

  1. Well, I'm not so sure about your final objective, but I completely agree with the "health" tips.
    As a matter of fact, I think if one does not maintain old bonds and create new ones, one tends to crowd one's partner, probably resulting in an untimely demise of the relationship.
    So really, these pointers are just as much about maintaining the status quo!

  5. I guess a little change of order of sentences is more likely -
    "Reason" being that they can claim to having done a HUGE sacrifice!
    "Realization" being that they were never in a healthy relationship!
    As for "back up plan" and "pointers" - Umm, experience shows I see :);)

  6. Erm.
    wrt your very interesting healthy vs the unhealthy list, getting the number with future reference as an objective(that there's a need to, while in a relationship!).. well definitely unhealthy. Taking the number for keeping in touch(even if something does happen after the current relationship's over) is what I'd call healthy.
