Am I being a brat? Why don't I like this Person? Is this how sons from single parent families react to their mothers' relationships? SMH!

Why is it that some people would go an extra mile for other people but wouldn’t for their own family?
“BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER”
Well it seems as if blood has lost its density for other people. Once questioned to explain their behaviour, such individuals come up with different explanations to account for this behaviour. Some blame it on love.
LOVE: “It’s because I love him/her that I am willing to go an extra mile.” Well from my own vantage point, love should be a mutual thing, not a one way stream. Both concerned partners must be willing to go an extra mile or come to a compromise to meet each other half way. Again you should love your partner too much not to let him/her go overboard. Maybe it’s true what they say about love.
“LOVE BLINDS”
I believe one way stream love is the one to be associated with this saying. This is because it is in such situations, one way stream love, which one is willing to go overboard for the other partner. This individual becomes blinded with love for the other partner that he/she does not see that at times he/she is being used. This becomes his/her weakness. She brings 75% into the relationship whereas the partner brings only 25%, which is a clear indication that his/her partner is basically reaping off the benefits of being in a relationship with him/her. Such a partner who realises this kind of weakness in their partner does not give much about love, the true unconditional love that the poor woman or man directs to him/her.

DESPERATION: At times desperation accounts for this irrational behaviour if I may call it that. One partner may be seeking one thing from another that he/she is willing to walk through the fires of hell in anticipation of obtaining that particular need. Here also it’s quite clear that love is one-sided, the other partner is just enjoying the benefits.

The painful thing at the end of the day is may be that the loving partner does not get all that he/she wanted, but rather get left with nothing due to the other partner who has been taking everything away without equally bringing in something.
“Empty heart + empty pockets= great heart ache +Lost hope”
NB! Shame! That’s all that’s left on people’s mouths about you.
Let’s try to understand that we cannot fully understand or know a person. Everyone has the potential of being mischievous.
LET’S LOVE WITH OUR EYES OPEN AND NOT FORGET WHERE WE ARE FROM!!
