Hi, Brian. Truly appreciate your comment. Yes, I agree. There is nothing in the 21st Century that is more broken than relationships -- whether it is a marriage, friendship or a familial relationship. And, it is most evident in marriages and relationships between men and women. Third persons have no problems cutting in. And, often, people in a relationship are open to getting what they don't get in that relationship from others. The result, as you say, is a breakdown.
Exclusivity is outdated! The notion that you should be committed and faithful to one person (the person you love and your partner of choice) and exclude all others has taken such a beating that people no longer value these characteristics in a relationship. And, that is really sad, because it is commitment and faithfulness that are the foundations of stability in a relationship.
Your comment truly surprises me. This trimester (May 2008) students keep springing surprises on me! You reveal a maturity that is refreshing and extremely welcoming. It shows that you are all learning and growing. And, you know what? It is learning and growing that keep us active and alive.

What is the world coming to eh? The proper relationship where one is devoted to the other is no longer seen in the eyes of many...
Speaking of breakdowns...i'm in the middle of recovering frm a shock...
on my 3rd anniversary, Agnes's gift to me was a letter explaining why she wanted to break up with me...
To cut long story short, she feels she isnt good enough for me and that i deserve better...
