COUPLE TOGETHER FOR YEARS, TRAVELLED THE WORLD TOGETHER BUT STILL DIVORCE

I tried so hard, and failed

Everytime when i look at influencers’ social media, they always seem happy and with their partners, doing fun stuff, teasing each other etc. And, i start to reflect on my life, why am i not happy with my partner? And i the cause of it?

Yes, i am. My partner tells me that all the time.

We used to do all the fun stuff together, you know. We joked around, we tease each other, we enjoyed travelling to many countries together (21 countries to be exact – lovers’ lock at 5 countries, message bottles buried under the trees in 2 countries, getting matching tattoos in 2 countries and PWS back to the first country we visited). I tried so hard to tell myself that we are meant to be. I fought against all odds, even when my parents were against you, to be with you. I am tired of trying all the time, only to be blamed for all your unhappiness. Goodbye my love, i will sign the papers.

Here are what netizens think:

• Pls don’t follow others , everyone have different life dear , everyone have a story behind close doors, why people don’t compare who’s coffin is beautiful and luxury? Life is prescious, don’t compare dear , those unfortunate people like handicap and illness ones how ? We are more lucky than them right . Relationship thing nobody can predict, today I can say I love you, few months later or few years can be enermy right.

• I sympathise with your impending divorce if that’s what you meant. But looking at influencers and thinking they are the gold standard for a perfect life? Eh bro or sis, you need some real nirvana.

• If you want actual real like stories, go to Reddit and read the AITA channel. You’ll have an idea how everyone suffers the same, just differently. Don’t buy into the social media bs.

• You choose what you want to post to social media. Influencer’s typically shows only the happy fun side. But we will never know what happens behind the scene. In front of camera is usually fake. So, yeah, don’t compare your life to influencer’s. Happiness comes from within and I hope you’ll be happy after this, whatever choice you’ll make.

• never heard of the Chinese saying 人比人气死人? A person can never be happy if his or her definition of happiness is based upon comparison with others, be it family friends and in your saddest case of all, social media influencers
