THINGS THAT HAPPEN WHEN YOU FORCE A RELATIONSHIP ON SOMEONE

A relationship is between two people who have agreed to share their lives with each other, love and support each other, care for each other and be there for each other. When this isn’t present, then the relationship is in jeopardy.

Forcing a relationship on someone beats everything that a relationship stands for, and when there isn’t a mutual interest/agreement between the two partners, these things will happen:

1. YOU’D DO ALL THE WORK
There’s a saying that you can force a horse to the stream but won’t force it to drink. You could probably pressure someone into a relationship and the person would grudgingly accept, but you can never pressure that person to become committed to the success of the relationship.
When you are in a forced relationship, you’d be the one doing everything to make it work, and it should never be so.

2. YOU WOULD LOSE YOUR HAPPINESS
You might be happy to have finally gotten that man/woman you want, but such happiness will be short-lived. That forced partner wouldn’t do much to bring happiness to the relationship and would be nonchalant in every way; you’d never find happiness with a partner who isn’t serious with you.

3. YOU’D GO BEYOND YOUR LIMITS
You’d always go beyond your limits with a partner who you forced into a relationship; you’d do everything to make it, you’d do everything to make that person happy and all will be to no avail.

4. YOU’D NEVER BE TRULY LOVED OR APPRECIATED
A relationship might be forced and pressured, but love and appreciation doesn’t work that way. These two qualities come from within and cannot be forced. If it’s not there, it’s not there.

5. YOU COULD SUFFER A HEARTBREAK
You are more prone to being heartbroken when you enter such an enforced relationship. When you aren’t treated right, you can never truly be happy.

6. THE RELATIONSHIP WILL CRASH AT THE END
A forced relationship is like a building on a shaky foundation — sooner or later, it’s going to crash. It can never stand the test of time. A relationship needs the willing minds of two committed and interested partners.

7. YOU MIGHT LOSE YOURSELF IN THE PROCESS
You would most likely lose it when your partner doesn’t treat you right, abuses you in the relationship and makes you feel like you aren’t worth it. You’d lose yourself in such a relationship.

8. YOU COULD BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED
You set a trap for yourself with a man/woman who doesn’t love you; you are either going to be loved or taken for granted in your relationship. So why force yourself on someone who would take you for granted in the first place?

9. THE RELATIONSHIP CAN NEVER BE ENJOYED
In a forced relationship, love, care, trust, appreciation, commitment and selflessness will be missing. How then can you enjoy such a relationship when these things are missing?
A forced relationship is the worst kind of relationship to be in; it’s better to remain single than be with someone who you have to force to care for you and love you for who you are.
