#RelationshipGoals and why its fucking up society

      Relationships nowadays focus too much on bragging about what they could do as a couple, be it on anything. In the last few years, I have been seeing a new trend that up to this day gains so much influence that, in my view, turns society into a one big fucked-up monster. It's really easy to make one of these posts about Relationship Goals or "RG". Your post just needs to have:

a. your long-time girlfriend, boyfriend, fuck buddy, more-than-a-friend, etc
c. anything from really expensive dates, giving of expensive gifts, sitting in the car, going to somewhere luxurious and faraway together, holding hands showing a high-end watch (Cartier, Timex, or Rolex), couple poloshirts (Lacoste, etc) , meeting the parents at a metro restaurant, and practically anything that involves the showing off of money and the "healthy" state of relationship.

Simply put, your relationship and the post just needs to be picturesque.

My only issue here is that most couples think about how to please society and themselves, and it's not really helping. If you think about it, you're the one who's making so much effort just so your relationship seems to be kind of perfect, and you want that perfection to show and be projected to the world. Relationships are a private matter, last time I checked. (Unless I was born in the wrong century.. or worse, planet.) Well, a possible rebuttal of this is "We're just sharing our happiness, why the fuck would you care?" Don't get me wrong, folks. Sharing is loving. BUT THE SAD THING IS THAT PEOPLE LIVE UP TO THE EXPECTATIONS OF A #RELATIONSHIPGOAL, AND NOT THINK AND APPRECIATE WHAT'S IN IT FOR THEM IN THE PRESENT.

 It creates this kind of misconception that relationships are perfect and smooth-sailing and picturesque!

Perhaps you may wonder, This person doesn't have any special someone, that's why this person's ranting about it.  

Well, I do have a special someone, and sad to say he's infected by this disease. (Probably why I started ranting about this in the first place.) Here's how I knew he got the ax:

Lunch 
Guy: Olive and Gelo (our friends) is soooo legal. You know what? Both of their families had dinner just to discuss Olive and Gelo's plans for Olive's debut. (See the context? Debut = 18 y/o)
Girl: When's her debut?
Guy: She won't have a formal affair. Just a trip to the US with Gelo. She didn't want anything else, just that. Both of their families had dinner just to talk about that... Can you imagine?
Girl: Wow..Yeah, I can.
Guy: Awesome, right? One heck of an RG. Wish we could do it, but we have no money, and we're not legal.
Girl: We'll have our own time. Let's just do good in our studies.
Guy: .....
Girl: All right. What do you want to do? Have a date? Travel to Canada? Roadtrip? We'll do all that by the time we have our jobs. Don't worry babe.
Guy: Can't we do those things right now?

Aand there you have it, people!
A perfect example.
I don't have anything against couples who share their happiness, might as well to reiterate.
In my view, it really just creates this kind of utopian thinking that relationships have to be fun and up and about just for it to work.

And with the advent of technology, more and more teenagers, including children, are becoming aware that this concept (#RelationshipGoals) exist, and they strive to embody the very concept.

 Furthermore, a typical RG post usually involves a load lot of money. And anything expensive, if I may add. It really fucks up society. It tends to impose on people that the more money a couple has, the more likely their relationship is admirable. Well, that's how I view it. This is a free country.

Again, I really dont have anyting about couples sharing their happiness. I think what it needs is moderation. And critical thinking. 

We, the young adults of today, should think about how we situate ourselves in response to the rising utopian beliefs, like the #RG.
