What Ive gotten from my (almost) 2 yr relationship
1. Relationships should be fun ✨
Yes, relationships have fights and sometimes things are hard for one person or even both but if you truely love eachother and want to make it last, the fights won’t last. So BE SILLY, do spontaneous random things, and just have fun.
2. You have to think of the other person first 🌸
Something that has been hard after not being in a relationship for a while, or ever, is thinking about the other person before yourself. Say usually you go and get a giant pizza to eat over a couple days so you don’t have to cook. Well my boyfriend is allergic to gluten, so I have to think about what he can eat, over what I would want to eat.
3. Distance 🥲
I personally think that everyone, even if it really sucks, should subject themselves to a long distance relationship at some point. It reveals issues and problems that you may not have noticed if you guys are always together in person. And it sets you up to talk through things better since you can’t just do it in person, you have to physically communicate better because that’s all you can do over the phone.
4. Feelings 🩷
When you’re in a relationship, it’s most likely that you and your bf/gf don’t experience emotions the same way. I typically bottle them up, but my bf encourages me to let them out because, long term it’s more healthy.
5. Heart over looks 🌹
Personally, I think I got lucky with the most handsome man in the world but others might think otherwise. But the first thing I noticed about him was his kindness, and if you find a person like that, and will treat you like the princess you are, the looks will just become handsome and good looking to you even if you didn’t think so at first. Because as the corny saying goes “the beauty on the inside is what counts” and it’s true!!

Over nearly two years, relationships can teach us invaluable lessons that shape our understanding of love and companionship. One of the most significant takeaways is the essence of having fun together, which can often act as a remedy during tough times. Engaging in spontaneous activities and creating memories helps to lighten the mood and strengthen your connection. Another important lesson learned is the need to prioritize your partner’s needs. It's crucial to foster a mindset that considers their preferences, especially in everyday choices like meals or leisure activities. This can lead to a more harmonious living situation and shows consideration, which is vital for any relationship's success. Additionally, navigating long-distance relationships can be a revealing experience, highlighting communication gaps that might go unnoticed in close proximity. It forces couples to hone their communication skills, allowing them to express feelings and resolve conflicts through various mediums, which can ultimately enhance intimacy. Finally, emotional vulnerability plays a critical role in relationship health. While some individuals tend to bottle up feelings, sharing emotions with your partner fosters trust and understanding. A relationship built on openness solidifies a partnership, making it resilient against life's challenges. Embracing these lessons can help couples build a solid foundation for lasting love and companionship. Your thoughts on these experiences can be valuable in inspiring others to reflect on their own relationships and the insights they've gained.
