Love is a beautiful thing. It makes the world go round. It puts butterflies in our stomachs and we float on the clouds. We feel warm inside at the mention of the name of our beloved, and when we remember them, we smile to ourselves. We are happy. Love makes us happy. It’s even better when we are loved back. In that regard, we want to let the whole world hear when we find that special person. We take pictures to immortalize the memory and include them in all our plans and activities. We want to spend every waking moment with them.
However, sometimes, couples may not share their relationship with the world when it starts. Sometimes, deliberately or not, they keep their affair to each other; only close friends may know about it. Is keeping a relationship a secret not counter-intuitive when love should be announced from the rooftop? Let’s explore why many people decide to keep their relationships a secret.
The Right Decision
A couple wants to be sure they have made the right choice of partner. Fear that the relationship might crash usually prevents couples from announcing their relationship. They may have had bitter experiences with relationships in the past and may not want to raise the expectations of their families and friends. They also may not want to be accused of changing partners too often so they would keep the relationship secret until they are sure it will last.
Security
A couple may want to protect their new relationship. Not everyone will be happy to find that you’re happy. Jealous people might want to destroy the relationship upon take-off. People are not sparing marriages; what won’t they do with a shooting relationship if they are against it? Keeping it a secret protects the relationship and gives it a sense of security. But, if the couple has nothing to hide, why keep people from knowing about the relationship?
Players
In this day and age, it has become popular to have multiple streams of income, just like it is to have many streams of affection. Stemming from insecurity, a person may believe they might be at a loss if their partner breaks up with them out of the blue so they make investments in other people. After all, the adage says to not keep all our eggs in one basket, right? The key is for the other partners to not know about the existence of one another so the player dabbles from one partner to the other. They are very careful not to leave any trace. Ingenious, eh?
For the Fun of it
Finally, did you know that forbidden fruit tastes sweetest? Keeping a secret amour can spice things up for the couple.
A secret affair may be exhilarating at the start but the feeling wanes. You may begin to question the love your partner claims to have for you and mistrust will set in, destroying the beautiful affair.
Cheers to love.
