The Cuban content creator, Arguelles Positivo, has ignited a heated discussion on TikTok with his straightforward commentary on what he dubs the “curse of broken relationships” in America. His video, which has already garnered hundreds of comments and reactions, explores the phenomenon of couples who emigrate together only to part ways shortly after arriving in the United States.
Arguelles highlights how financial pressures are often the primary strain on these relationships. "Many couples arrive from their countries after four or five years, and once in the United States, they separate," he states, attributing the issue to the almighty dollar. He emphasizes that it's often easier for people to start anew with someone who already possesses economic stability. He points out that the situation can be especially tough for newly arrived men without financial resources, for whom life becomes "a bit more challenging."
He offers a cautionary message to couples building a life together in America: "If both partners aren't on the same page, believe me, they won't last long." He concludes with a significant observation: "Many say money doesn't buy happiness, but trust me, money is crucial for life."
His reflection has resonated deeply with his followers, many of whom have shared personal stories or expressed agreement with his views. Some users confessed to having experienced similar situations: "It's true, I was left with nothing"; "If your partner leaves when you're down, it's the best thing that could have happened"; "Even love runs out if there's no financial stability, and it's not that we're bad, it's the system."
Contrasting Opinions on Relationship Challenges
While some support Arguelles' perspective, others disagree. "It's not America. It's that when poverty enters the door, love goes out the window," one user commented. Others asserted that it doesn't always happen this way: "False, I've been with mine for 30 years." Some believe the real issue lies in the lack of time for relationships in the U.S., as one user noted: "Couples are formed under different conditions; arriving here with two jobs and exhaustion leaves no time for each other."
The video also drew responses from those experiencing migration firsthand. One individual who emigrated a year ago acknowledged the challenges but expressed determination to stay with her husband. Another user pointed out that people sometimes "arrive with the wrong mindset," expecting wealth from the outset, which leads to conflicts in relationships.
Continued Exploration of Migration's Impact on Love
This isn't the first time a message like this has gone viral on TikTok. Other creators have previously reflected on how moving to a new country affects couples and whether America truly is a "cursed" ground for love or if economic pressures and expectations are the real culprits. The debate remains lively, with more individuals contributing their experiences to the discussion.
