Millennial Relationships???

In today's society, I feel as though we glamorize the wrong things. Millennials like to use social media to pose as though one is happy. We also like to use social media to enforce the norms of dating. You have to make yourself available to your partner 24/7, you are wrong if you want space away from your partner, and you must take every step of your relationship at a fast pace, or else your relationship is not legitimate. I myself have subjected myself to society's dating norms, but as I get older I am starting to see the adverse affects social media is putting on younger kids in relationships. For starters, young women feel the need to be submissive to the man in the relationship. Young women have to be seen as “ride or die” characters for their man and be supportive of their every move, forcing young girls to put their dreams on the back burner. For example, girls in their young teens are being pressured more to have sex. I guess this is nothing new in society, but it has taken on a new level of extreme. We expose these young women to this rhetoric on social media, music, television, and more. Secondly, we see young kids over using the term forgiveness. It is taught at an extreme level to forgive your partner no matter what they do to you. This again, disproportionately affects women. Throughout my years I've seen a countless number of women my age getting cheated on, verbally abused, and even physically abused. Forgiveness, I believe, is a crucial part of a long lasting relationship. However, no woman ever deserves to endure the emotional pain of adultery or abuse, especially at such a young age. Lastly, we make a relationship a priority more than a luxury. This has been a personal issue for me living in a society that glamorizes relationships so much. I have found myself in the past craving a relationship. Then, I would get into a relationship, not having the proper bonds with the person I was supposed to be “in love” with. I feel as though my generation tries to rush the process of love too much, that we don't take the time to even fall in love with, or even know if we like the person. Sometimes I think to myself, if we find ourself chasing the relationship itself, are we missing out on the one person we are actually compatible with. As a young woman myself, I have felt the pressure to be “in love” with someone, to be my mans ride or die, and to forgive even when I know what he did was wrong. The issue is that we are subject to a social norm that doesn't want us to learn from our mistakes. Society and social media play a role in wanting women to stay in a place that makes us incapable of spiritual and emotional growth. Too many young women have been taught these unfair social norms, and my fear is that they will transform into deeper darker things in their adulthood.
