The scenario of modern day relationship curiously stands out as totally and completely different from the relationship situation of yester years. Much as it is agreeably different; experts in the field  pine a myriad of observed features essentially rendering it as only slightly veering off-the extent of truth in the statement is however arguable.Some are of the opinion that the only different thing is the mode of operation associated with it, to be the one thing glaringly atavistic. But when all is said and done certain pertinent features of similarity still exist up to date from time immemorial.

Whilst the rules have greatly changed thereby in effect redefining the style the game is played in: modern dating scenario has critically re-packaged the definitive essentials; following a trail of complex and new social values that in turn have demanded subtle formerly  unknown individual sacrifices in order for the loving game to appear promising to both the man and the woman.

According to a blog by Brigid Bishop: “Modern day relationships are making men run from responsible relationships.” This fear apparently is fueled  about by the school of gender  parity that has irrevocably made women equal partners in relationships as opposed to what used to be before. Historically speaking, men were initially nurtured with admonitions of success and providence taking the bulk of bargaining chip. Women were groomed to be nurtures of homes and family house holdings. However, in today’s world; women have successfully asserted themselves alongside their male counterparts, seeing  them competing full blast in career fields, businesses, educational opportunities etc with unrivalled triumphs, sometimes exceeding the triumphs of the male-dom. For those impervious to change; this exponential phenomenon exuded by women who not long ago were thought to be the weaker sex especially in fields that hitherto were traditionally exclusive male dominated enclaves; has undermined the ability of some men brought up with the notion: Men are superior while women inferior. Consequently, the feeling of  them  having to share equal responsibilities in all matters affecting their lives as couples to be too much for their ego to bear.

Female energies throughout the years has amazingly transformed rapidly from the weak and docile, to the strong and assertive energies serving them well through their excellence in schools, colleges, university and job market; thus according an enviable status of merit which has economically and socially empowered them. However, the downside of it has also resulted into men feeling shamefully inferior, say, in the presence of a successful, well educated and high income earning woman. Others hold it that since a man naturally desires to be coddled and cared for by a women; the modern day woman’s unique and gender competitive advantage: has insensitively transformed her  into a home wrecker  rather than maker. The modern day career woman spends much of her time and sacrifice building her top-notch career portfolio; sadly at the expense of her relationship and family.
