LOVE GONE SOUR!!

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once said-“There’s nothing in this world so sweet as love. And next to love the sweetest thing is hate”.
Love and hate are two sides of the same coin. Though there are many contradictions that exist in the world, the contrast between love and hate is perhaps the most austere. It is one that helps us value and cherish true love while perceiving the aftermath of hatred.
Both these emotions are strong and can exist side by side. Love gives you the feeling of fulfillment and happiness. Hatred on the other hand is vicious and cataclysmic. When love turns to hate, it leads to a violent cycle of jealousy and revenge. And this destructive force causes nothing but havoc in the lives of the people involved.
There are various reasons why love can turn to hatred
Reason 1: Unrequited love
When love is articulated but it is not reciprocated it can lead to resentment and gives rise to bitter feelings. When the beloved forgets to include you in plans & actions — or is otherwise thoughtless; it hurts. This is the appalling truth that so often turns “love” into hate — the extreme bitterness & vengefulness of love spurned. Even when love does not turn to hate, the sadness & hurt of unrequited love causes acrimony and unpleasantness in ones heart.
Reason 2: Jealousy
This green eyed monster has the power to ruin a relationship and turn love to hate. The desire for exclusivity arises in romantic love which may not go down well with the other partner especially if it’s unreasonable in its demands. Turning of the lover into a police officer of the heart and trying to control the actions of one’s lover at all times can be suffocating.
Reason 3: Pride
The other reason of why love turns to hate is the chronic resentment over not being properly appreciated. This feeling is poisonously disparaging in a romantic relationship. If you are giving something extra to the relationship then you would want to be recognized for it and appreciated.
Whatever the reason for your love turning into hate, it is imperative that you keep in mind the fact that you have emerged smarter and stronger from the experience. Nothing can be gained by clinging to the feeling of hatred within you. Neither can anything be gained by retrospection or analysis of what went wrong in the relationship. It is time to move on and look forward to the future which should be free from hatred and antipathy. Think positive.
You are now single and ready to mingle. So make the most of it and have look forward to the bright future that awaits you.
