online relations can be very addictive...and it tends to go around on the philosphy of wat comes around goes around..... one of the biggest downfall i see in this type of relation is the issue of unequality. what i mean by this is, the two parties invovled in the relationship, one of them ends up having to make more compromises & sacrifices than other...and i know love is about sacrifice n compromise...but in a normal relationship we choose to compromise or sacrifice but in an online relationship one has to...just for instance the basic of all, one of the party would have to leave his or her hometown, job, friends, and everything else to be with the other party.....i've seen n heard women taking this role most of the time and i dont think its fair for them. especially in a new place and if she thought the man of her dream wasn't exactly like what she thought, there is almost no support system for her that exist in the new place and new enviornment and more times than not she will yet again end up making more compromises n sacrifices....and same can be applied to men too if they choose to take on this role. i dont really have a lesson or point to my statement...cause i truly belive people can be happy no matter what if they choose to be....thus happiness is a choice :) i wish our friend rrr all the best...if u can, share ur thoughts once u come back from ur tirp. p.s. thanks badarnikt for sharing the link to a very cute real life story..i enjoyed reading it :)
