Relationships are the threads that hold the fabric of society together.
The basic rule to any healthy relationship is mutual trust and understanding. Both persons have to contribute to this bond to keep it strong. One sided bonds are just temporary and it is just a matter of time before they fall apart.
Step-relations are some of the trickiest relationships to be involved in. If such a bond forms, it is very satisfying and definitely a win-win situation for both the parties.
However, there are many affecting elements, especially in the Asian society. In addition to the prevalent negative society viewpoint, relatives and their influences on the people involved play a major role.
When a person works to bond with a step relation, it is truly admirable but he has to realize that this relation cannot be forced on the other person.
But if even after making all efforts, there is zero or negative returns from the other side, then it is best to just let go.
If you don’t, then one side or the other or probably both, may end up hurting and disappointed.
And, I want to add, the same is true, generally, for all relations,
but step-relations are the trickiest…
