Maybe the reason relationships are shaky these days is because of the jury which has no business to be in other people’s relationships. We are very fast to audit other people’s situations while we crumble in our own. Pointing fingers, looking to play devil’s advocate while we creep around and play perfect. The thing is, a relationship is between two people, and while public couples have their relationships played out in the public, it does not take away the fact that this is about two people. Their mistakes are not too different from ours. I noticed that the ladies naturally sided with Rema for choosing to walk out of her ‘studying’ project to find her husband. Apparently, she had waited far too long that it was only logical that the mango would eventually be eaten by… you guessed right, the doctor.
Allow me to wear my public jury’s robe and say that this disturbs me. The whole idea that the success of a relationship rests on a ring/rock being placed on the finger. There is a certain obsession with marriage by women that wears out relationships. And I say this generally. It is not even about the marriage in itself but the idea of being married as a social status symbol. Apparently being called ‘Mukyala wa gundi’ is every woman’s dream title. The social media experts claim that if he loved her that much, why didn’t he put a ring on her finger? And who said she was undervalued or underappreciated? It is this craze for a ring that has killed the beauty of relationships and scared young men out of long term commitments. How about I am committed to you and not to all these expectant eyes waiting for me to tie the knot. If there was ever such a predicament on Kenzo’s side about tying the knot, it is important to note such decisions take time. He should not be killed for it. In Rema’s defence, maybe things just did not work out. Another bald guy caught her fancy and they took it up a notch. Things happen. Look at me, relationships beef me but I still survive.
