I just finished watching a movie titled The Guest. The movie is all about a woman seeking revenge on a man who had hurt her deeply in her youth, who she thought loved her, but only got to discover later that he had been using her as part of a bet with his friend. This betrayal shaped her life, leaving her scarred and determined to seek justice for the way he toyed with her emotions.
Watching the movie got me thinking about the different stories I have read online about people who are unable to move past the heartbreak they feel that is caused by someone who they loved so much, but the person entered into a relationship with them with no genuine intentions.
What I have come to notice is that some of these individuals carry the hurt for years, and for some, it grows into a desire for revenge and this vicious cycle of pain that would have been avoided if the relationship had been built on honesty and respect in the first place.I keep wondering why some people enter a relationship when they know that they have no intention of truly committing to it, and instead, they treat it as a game or a source of entertainment.
They toy with someone’s heart, inflict deep emotional wounds, and walk away as if it’s nothing. This kind of behavior is really disgusting and annoying; it’s cruel. I think relationships should never be about using someone for fun or selfish gain, and then you discard them when you feel the thrill is gone.
If I am not mistaken, love, at least at its core, is about mutual care, respect, trust, and a desire to build something meaningful with another person. If for any reason those aren't your intentions, then it's better to walk away than to lead someone on. When people enter relationships for stupid reasons, be it for fun, convenience, or ego, this often leaves a trail of pain behind them.
The person who was hurt may carry that pain for a long time, struggling to trust again or even seeking revenge as a way to cope with the betrayal.While I know that not all relationships can lead into something meaningful, thereforeif a relationship doesn't work out, it's better to part ways with kindness and dignity.
This way no one would ever feel the need to seek revenge or hold onto bitterness because of how they were treated. And this will only be possible if everyone would be able to take responsibility for their actions in relationships. If you know you are not ready to love someone honestly, don’t get involved. If your heart isn’t in it, don’t play with someone else’s.
At the end of the day, relationships should be a source of growth, love, and mutual support, not a game where one person wins and the other loses.

THANK YOU FOR READING TO THE END 🤗
I do tell people that loving someone isn't just enough; do they value and respect you in return? Not everyone deserves our heart no matter how head over heels we feel about them.
Before putting our heart, time, and energy into a relationship, it's our duty to figure out if the other person is worth it.
Too many broken 💔 out there because they keep on loving the wrong people and expecting something great to come out of it.
