Fast love, faster breakups.

In this new digital age, relationships have undergone a significant transformation. They are no longer defined by lasting commitment to a single person but are often shaped by people's changing moods and desires. With countless connections just a click away, emotions tend to fluctuate rapidly, making relationships feel more temporary and uncertain. The ease of communication and endless options have turned commitment into a choice that is constantly reevaluated, influenced by convenience and the latest trends. As a result, relationships today often lack the depth and stability that once defined them.

Technology has a significant influence on how people view relationships today. People no longer value the perseverance and effort it takes to build a meaningful relationship because everything, from food to information to dating, is just a click away. Today, a lot of people date multiple people without taking the time to get to know them. With the large youth population and their divergent views on romantic relationships, the idea of relationships and marriage in India has undergone a significant change in recent years.

At the first sign of “incompatibility,” they move on to the next person, looking for the unique chemistry that only exists in rom-coms. Due to this behaviour, marriages are no longer seen as the throne of a stable relationship and the idea of monogamy sounds like a crisis. Everyone loves the idea of falling in love, but very few people are willing to put in the effort necessary to achieve it, and those who do tend to get easily bored.
