Relationships require work.

I’ve seen through my time living with my boyfriend that this concept may not be obvious. Bickering ensues over the slightest infraction and I find myself sprinting to keep up with demands and expectations that were placed on from the day we met. And every now and then I will trip or say something that throws me from my course. To some people, hell, many people, they may think of this as a demanding, sexist, relationship where only one side gains and the other loses. But life experience and meditation brought one simple thing to my attention:

Relationships require work.

Of course not everything can be happiness and butterflies for your whole life; deluding yourself to that ideality would be foolish, not to mention will lead to a nasty break-up. I see so many couples today falling apart because of silly things. You know, the couples who appear to be on and off again and you roll your eyes when they cry about their significant other not throwing away empty boxes and leaving their clothes laying around so you have to pick them up and whatever else is the drama for that week. Then a day or two later they are back to sucking each others faces like nothing happened... Only to have another (maybe even the same) argument the next week.

My point is every relationship requires a few key things in order to work. And one of those things, is talking. Yes, I know, it sounds like a preachy seminar, but it’s true. One of the things that I realized in my relationship is that we never discussed what we expected from one another before moving in. Looking back, obviously this is a big mistake as I end up being the one taking care of everything around the house and my boyfriend comes home from work, props his feet up, and asks for the remote and a soda. Sounds like classic marriage, right? But it shouldn’t be like that, especially not after only a month of living together.

My advice for today is: Take a few minutes or so to discuss things with your significant other. Don’t say “we need to talk” because that always makes them shut down before anything starts, but bring something up in casual conversation. Get a real response, not one that they’ll prepare as a back up in case he/she feels attacked. Who knows, you might even end up having an in depth conversation that brings you even closer together. Just saying something like this:

“So what did you expect out of me when we first moved in together?”

And then go from there. But remember to take take body clues. If they seem to be irritated or frustrated with something, don’t approach them. It’ll just end badly all around, believe me.

Other than that, have a panda-riffic day!~

C’ya. ;)
