LOVE

So Monday, Valentines Day,  in class we talked about love and relationships and giving advice. I feel like giving relationship advice is great but every relationship is different and if you don't understand how the people are in the relationship then advice is hard to give. It's also hard having people that are not in a relationship understand the problems you're having or even try to relate. I feel like so many relationship problems stem from jealousy and not trusting the other person. Trust is so important in a relationship and I believe that if the other person hasn't done anything to lose your trust then trust them fully without question until they prove you otherwise. Girls are so crazy about other girls even talking to their boyfriends and they start fights and become crazy jealous and then eventually the guy will go crazy and break up with them because of it. But then again guys can be completely overprotective and do the exact same. People just need to be honest and have faith in each other otherwise a relationship can never succeed. Another important thing is don't give up everything especially your friends when you're in a relationship. So many people do this, especially girls, and once they break up they literally have no one and come crying back to their old friends who most likely will not accept them. Also not having friends is so unattractive to the other person especially if they kept close relationships with their friends because that person will become completely dependent and not let the other person hangout with their friends. One of my best friends just broke up with her boyfriend of three years. Ever since middle school she has always had a boyfriend and now being single she actually doesn't know what to do with herself. Since she always had a boyfriend she never really kept close relationships except with me and like two other people. Its just not a healthy way to live. Relationships are supposed to be fun especially when were so young and have so much ahead of us, why stress over the little things.

  1. I totally agree with you when you say that most relationship problems come from jealousy and trust. I also know so many people that once they got involved in a relationship they neglect their close friends for the guy. Then when they break up the girl tries to come running back to their old friends. I think its so healthy to have close girlfriends while being in a relationship too!

  2. Yeah i also agree with you on this. It is hard for someone to give a generic answer to a relationship problem, because there can be so many different routes of where each person is coming from. I also had a friend who had always had a boyfriend since middle school and she has been single for about a year now. Seeing how differently she interacts with others is scary. I noticed that she will jump from one impulsive decision to the next and i think its because she was so use to always having something/someone there before and now that she is single she has a hard time being alone.
