Relationships are actually incredibly strange.
There are moments where you feel like you’d be fine without one, and there are moments where you would die to have one, or to keep a relationship you have from crumbling apart. In short, they really do give you the best (and worst) of both worlds.
But fellow lovers, if I were to give you one piece of love advice:
Never set standards of how your relationship “should” be.
It’s different for everyone! Get your mind out of that “fairytale” setting. The more you worry about how “terribly wrong” your relationship is going, the more trouble you’re causing yourself and the more you lose sight of how perfect and comfortable it actually is.
Just sit back. And enjoy the ride.
