Warranty
Dunno if there is a high prevalence for this but till date i have come across 2 friends telling me about people who '2 time' (i.e. fancy someone else besides their partner and already close to dating that someone else but refusing to break with their current partners) because they 1) cannot decide who they want to be with and 2) maybe they want to have a 'backup' relationship in case the one they really want cannot work out. Sadly the persons they told me about are people they have a heart for.
I guess i don't have the experience to comment... (but hey amateurs in love can write a book to teach people how to get love..) Anyway.. i wonder if it is the way society is nowadays.. we get warranties for electronic goods.. we have bao jia durians. so maybe that's why we can end up looking for 'warranties' in relationships too?
I find it quite irresponsible and selfish.. Do they spare a thought for their current partner? I think it's real terrifying if one's gf/bf says "Actually the person i like most now is not you, it's XXX.. but i'm still with you because...e.g. 1)he/she doesn't like me 2)i feel obliged to still be with you 3)i need to confirm the other relationship can start first..etc etc"
Most probably it's because i've always been instilled the principal of monogamy, so i find it quite disturbing.. but what happens if these cases were in Arabia? No problems obviously.. (They won't even have the dilemma of choosing!!!)
Heard some people commenting before that humans may not be made to be monogamic.. Maybe it is because this is true that such things will occur frequently? But if this is so.. why are principles/ethics making humans less human?
Relationship stories are sometimes really so scary.. Think i need doses of mian (免) kia (怕) you (油)

my take on this is that when people start to like another person, it's the feeling of love they are looking for. after being in a relationship for long, the adrenaline rush of love is lesser and some people crave for it. so they tend to 'fall in love' with another foolishly.
