Relationships..... in the West/East

Are relationships easier in the Western culture when compared to in India? I have been ruminating on this for a while now. I see people here. They either just seem to get along really fine with one-another or they just breakup. There seems to be lesser sore spots. Maybe it be a family, among friends or a couple..it looks like everyone just does whatever they want. If they like someone then they go ahead and make friends. Not a lot of relationships seem to be forced by society, family, peers or other pressure factors.

Ofcourse, everyone feels, cares, emotes and all that, but still something seems to be just going on. IS IT EASIER THIS WAY?

Is there not more pleasure in trying to start a new relationship, mull over it, get along, incase of some trepid traps try and work on it, smoothen things out, get along for some more time until ultimate demise? Or give a relationship some rest until things get better, marinate it and then work on it..? And is it not better when its more than a couple, when the whole family is going to be involved.... is that not the basic idea behind all this - coming together of two different families.. there is better support, security, backing-up, caring when its the two families and just not two people involved...right??
