Relationships Advice

Take Care

[52.] A girl doesn't choose who she falls for & she doesn't control who she can or can stop loving. You say she's with an asshole? Maybe. But perhaps, he was nice at first. Perhaps, he isn't always an asshole. Sure, they have their arguments, but that doesn't mean they don't always get along. Yeah, he makes her cry but that doesn't mean he's never made her smile before. So don't tell her how to handle her relationship. It's her choice, & her life.

[53.] It takes two to make a relationship work. Not one person who's committed, who's honest about who they're with, what they're doing & who they're talking to, who's putting their relationship out there showing it off, who's putting in effort to try to make it work, who's telling everyone else 'Sorry, I already got somebody.' While the other person is acting single, lying about what they're doing, who they're with & who they're talking to, not really making it known that they're already taken so other people think it's okay to chase them, doesn't really try to make it work & is whatever about it, who's saying 'Yeah, there's somebody, but it isn't all that serious.'

[54.] Before getting serious with a guy, a girl always wonders, 'Will he be able to handle me on my period? Will my mood swings scare him off? Will he still look at me the same once I take my make-up off? Will he still think I'm pretty if I had pimples now & then? Will he be disgusted if I tell him I gotta shave, poop or fart? Will he trust me with my guy friends without thinking we're doing inappropriate things? Will he have second thoughts if I tell him about my past? Will he accept me the way I am without trying to change me.'

[55.] When you first meet someone, it's new & exciting. Then when you guys start a new relationship together, it's fun & stress-free. But look, the first couple of months of a relationship will always be easy, but it ain't always gotta be easy. Eventually, the jealousy will kick in, the clingy-ness will show itself, the arguments will come out of nowhere & the trust issues will surprise you. Shit is gonna get real, & that's when you get to see whether or not they're willing to stick around & make it work. Most people will leave when shit gets real, but if you have someone who'll stay despite the stress & the bullshit.. then you have a keeper & you need to get your shit together.
