Relationships aren’t black and white

Relationships aren’t black and white

People often think that relationships are black and white. But in reality, relationships are gray areas. They’re complicated, especially when you’re trying to figure out what you want out of them. If you’ve ever been in a relationship (or wanted one). Then at some point you’ve probably thought about what type of relationship is right for you or your partner. Maybe it was a question like “are we official?” or maybe it was something more specific like: “I’m ready to move in together.” It doesn’t really matter what stage of the relationship cycle we’re at because even if we know exactly what kind of situation would make us happy, there’s always room for change. And that’s okay!

Dating isn’t black and white.

Dating isn’t black and white. It’s not just one of two options, either. You can have a relationship that’s different from your friend who is dating someone else.

You don’t have to be in a serious relationship or even be dating at all if you don’t want to–and that’s okay! There are plenty of people who prefer casual dating over something more serious, which is fine too! The important thing is finding someone who makes you feel good about yourself and happy in general.

Relationships are gray areas.

Relationships are not black and white. They’re gray areas, and that’s a good thing!

Relationships aren’t always what they seem to be on the surface, especially if you’re in one of those “gray area” relationships. You may find yourself questioning whether your relationship is actually a relationship at all. Or whether it should be called something else entirely (like “a partner in crime”). But there are different kinds of relationships: romantic, familial/siblingly/parental…you name it!

You don’t have to be in a relationship

You don’t have to be in a relationship with someone to have them by your side. And you can have a friend who helps you achieve your goals. Or someone who isn’t your partner but still supports you in ways that make them feel like family.

Also you can also be in a relationship with someone who is not a romantic partner. This is called polyamory (if it’s non-monogamous) or ethical non-monogamy (if everyone involved knows about each other).

Finally, there are plenty of people out there who will help keep you accountable for being healthy and happy! They may not be able to go on hikes with us every weekend or cook dinner together every night–but they might be able to give us advice when we need it most.

There are a lot of ways to define a relationship and you can let your partner know what your definition is.

You can set your own rules and define your relationship in your own words. If you want to be exclusive, let your partner know that. If you don’t want to talk about the future of the relationship but just enjoy being together, make sure to communicate that.

So, if there are certain behaviors or activities that are off limits for you. Like sex with other people or drugs and alcohol. Let them know what those things are so they don’t accidentally cross any boundaries without realizing it. It’s also important for both partners to understand each other’s expectations around communication: some couples prefer texting over talking on the phone. Others feel more comfortable having one-on-one conversations rather than group hangouts. Still others may need regular check-ins throughout the week even though they live together full time (or vice versa).

You need space in order to respect each other.

You need space in order to respect each other. This doesn’t mean that you have to live on opposite sides of the country or even share a bedroom. But it does mean knowing what your partner expects from you, and being able to set boundaries around their behavior. If they get too close for comfort, or if they don’t give privacy when asked for it (or at all). Then this can lead to resentment and anger on both sides – which is never good for a relationship!

You also need space in order for your relationship with friends/family members not related by blood who aren’t involved with each other romantically as well. Otherwise things might feel awkward. Because everyone knows everyone else’s business too much already without feeling like they’re being kept out just. Because there’s now another person involved whose feelings may differ from those already established beforehand

It’s okay for your preferences to change over time and with experience.

And it’s okay to change your mind.

It’s okay to change your preferences.

Relationships are complicated but very worth it if you find the right person

Relationships are complicated. You need to find the right person, and it’s worth it if you do. But if you don’t, don’t worry! You can still have a partner in crime.

Conclusion

It’s okay to change goals, priorities, and expectations.

Relationships are complicated and can be a lot of work. But they’re also worth it if you find the right person. In order to make sure your relationship stays healthy. It’s important to communicate with each other about what you want out of it and what kind of relationship works best for both of you. If one person wants something different than the other person does then maybe they shouldn’t be together at all!
