We've all seen it in romantic movies: two people meet, have an intense relationship, and then one of them disappears (or leaves for Amsterdam). We must have thought: “No, thank you. I don't want my heart to be torn apart in the final scene." But what's wrong with it, if you think of it as a kind of 'love with an expiration date'?
Let's be realistic: Who has time for drama these days?
Plus, when you've been through a breakup, the idea of ??a relationship that has zero chance of lasting is the best. There is no long-term commitment, no expectation to buy curtains together. Ideal!
Instead of wandering through the world of "why didn't you call me?" or "how will I look when I meet his mother?", a short-term relationship is like a vacation to an exotic destination. You don't have time to complain about the hotel room because you're too busy enjoying the view.
When you know that everything has a clear end (like when you drink beer with an expiration date), you say to yourself, "Why not enjoy it here and now?" Instead of hiding your dark side—the parts you'd normally think would scare someone—open it all up. After all, "leaving" was on the agenda from day one.
When you're both aware of the time limit, something magical happens: you don't have time for pointless arguments. And why not admit it: there is a beautiful thing about short-term loves - they remain untouched by monotony. No time for "who does the dishes today?" or for the big list of "things that annoy me about you".
After all, who told us that love always has to be forever? Why not be powerful but temporary, like a coffee that warms you up for a few hours but you know won't last all day?
Therefore, if you ever get the chance to fall in love with a limited term, don't be afraid to say "yes." Even if it ends, you will feel alive. And that, perhaps, is all we ever need.
