Love with a difference- The crap

It was during one our group outing on Marina beach in Chennai swimming and playing games. One of my friends wanted to know if friends still remain friends when they live in a relationship or does it really work successfully? I had no idea or such an experience but I always thought unless someone ends up falling in love there was no way he will stay in relationship.

I have my personal views on this great relationship. It can work provided the rules have been set on. And the great rule is that it’s not just one point to concentrate on. I am sure you know what point I’m talking about. I know it because two of my junior friends are staying in that kind of relationship and it’s working fine for them.

As I was part of this interesting discussion but in my view in all the cases I have heard of it ends up in a load of a crap, my personal view though. It does not work in most cases, as one person will always end up falling in love, if not both, again my own humble views.

The topic then turned to friends about “benefit relationship”. That was something different for me as that arrangement tends to create kind of chronic personality disorder. For me one of the concerned persons becomes more involved than the other does and then the relation will change or take an ugly form, more or less.

I tried to search online later all about “benefit relationship” and came to know certain strange things. Such a relationship is purely based on mutual understanding of privacy, undefined time lines that comfort with the partner. But they are careful enough to not to get attached or awkward.

I was unable to understand if it was possible to live together and still call it something like “benefit relationship. After all what kind of benefit will such a relationship will provide. Maybe they have the sole intention of saving the money by renting one apartment for two single persons. Sounds funny but you cannot rule out the possibility.
