Is Bali break up island?
Word has it that all unmarried couples who travel to Bali by themselves are cursed to break up, and some of my friends have testified that this curse.
Some believe that it is Tanah Lot Temple that is cursed,
planning to going bali for trip with my fiancee
but we have doubt and worry for this happen
Any story from you guys?
It could be correlated to the mindset and demographics of unmarried couples who decide to go to Bali. One hypothesis I have is that they are mostly just starting out in their love life (and thus in the early stages of building maturity and EQ), have copious amounts of alcohol, and perhaps sexually active. This is the crowd that would also likely to choose Bali as a cheaper foreign island getaway. And naturally, such a crowd would also experience higher breakup rate too.
It is not that the above practices are bad, but I'm just highlighting the possibility of correlation, and could explain why you hear this more often from your friends and peers of the same age group.
As you've mentioned fiancée, I would think it's totally fine, plan the trip so that it is similar to a romantic getaway filled with culture, food, exploration, and having a romantic time with each other with a view towards bonding and strengthening your relationship. This is opposed to an alcohol-fuelled getaway reliving scenes of the Hangover movie series.
Also, if you believe that such curses exist, then you should also believe that
love is the most effective antidote to overcome such curses.
