The Best Relationship Advice EVER!
Advise from someone who is NOT an advisor but, I am damn sure it will work
Let me be straight with you: relationships are not like the movies.
There’s no slow-motion running through airports.
There’s no one yelling “Stay!” in the rain unless it’s your neighbor trying to stop their dog from chasing a squirrel.
But if you’re in it for the long haul, here’s some real-deal advice that might just save your love life — and your sanity.
1. Be Together for the Right Reasons
Look, abs fade. Eyebrows migrate.
People get weird about the thermostat.
If you’re with someone just because they’re cute or rich or they own a dog with an Instagram following, that ship’s gonna sink faster than my diet during the holidays.
Be with someone because you like them.
Like, really like them. As in, you enjoy sitting in silence together while eating cereal and watching reruns.
2. Have Realistic Expectations
Newsflash: they will forget the anniversary.
