Time is not just an arbitrary mental construct. It is a real dimension similar to height, width and length. Just like you could "squeeze" an object, changing, say, it's height and correspondingly, changing its width and length, you can do the same with time. The forces involved though are great, which is why we don't perceive the phenomenon in our day to day lives. For example, the theory of special relatively describes this phenomenon with regard to acceleration. An object accelerating experiences time differently than an outside observer watching it accelerate. The acceleration is a form of "squeezing" that changes the dimension of time rather than height, width or length. The theory of general relatively notes a similar phenomena for gravity. Massive objects take up so much space that they "squeeze" it. Rather than distort the dimensions, it distorts time.
These are measurable effects that have been verified by experiment.

Yes Its relative to the observer.

Everything in existence is related in some way or another. Including that which we call, the passage of Time! Simple enough?
