Weβve all heard the basic relationship tipsββcommunicateβ and βtrust is keyββblah blah blah. But letβs talk about the real stuff. The things no one wants to admit but you NEED to know. You ready? Keep reading. π π

No. 1: Not Every Fight Needs to Be a Battle Royale π₯
You don't need to win every fight. I know itβs tempting to be right all the time (been there, done that), but do you really want to turn every disagreement into a full-blown showdown? Pick your battles, honey. Sometimes itβs better to keep the peace than be crowned the βQueen of Petty.β (Although, letβs be real, we all have our moments).
π‘ Why: Winning every argument doesnβt win you a better relationship. Sometimes youβve gotta let the small stuff slide so you can enjoy the Netflix marathon without the side-eye. π¬π

No. 2: Be With Someone You Can Be Weird With π€ͺβ€οΈ
If you canβt dance around in your PJs or make dumb inside jokes with your boo, what are you even doing?! Real talk: if youβre holding back your weirdness, itβs not true love. Find someone who gets your quirks and can vibe with your goofy side. Whether itβs sending each other TikToks or doing awful karaoke in the car, being weird together is the love language. π
π‘ Why: Lifeβs too short to fake perfection. If they canβt handle your quirks, they canβt handle YOU. βοΈ

No. 3: Apologizing Doesn't Make You Weak ππ
Okay, letβs swallow our pride here for a sec. Saying βIβm sorryβ does NOT make you a doormat. In fact, it takes more strength to admit when youβve messed up than it does to double down and act like nothing happened. So, next time you snap at your partner because youβre hangry (weβve all been there), suck it up and say sorry. Trust me, your relationship will thank you for it. π
π‘ Why: Apologizing doesnβt mean you lostβit means you care more about the relationship than your ego. And thatβs a win, girl. πͺ

No. 4: If You Donβt Like Their Friends, Youβve Gotta Deal With It π¬π―ββοΈ
Look, not all of us are gonna be BFFs with our partnerβs friend group. Maybe their bestie is a little extra, or maybe you just donβt vibe with themβit happens. But hereβs the deal: itβs their friends, not yours. As long as theyβre not toxic or disrespectful, let it go. Youβre dating your partner, not auditioning to join their friend squad. Plan a self-care day while they hang out, and save yourself the drama. πβ¨
π‘ Why: Trying to change or cut out their friends will only cause tension. Stay in your lane, queen, and let them have their circle. π

No. 5: Stop Expecting Them to Change for You π
Repeat after me: You are not their life coach. If youβre dating someone hoping theyβll βimproveβ or become the person you wish they were, do yourself a favor and cut the cord. You canβt date someone for their potential. If they donβt tick your boxes now, theyβre probably never going to. Either love them for who they are, or move on.
π‘ Why: Waiting around for someone to change is a waste of your time. You deserve someone who already is what you wantβnot a DIY project. π«π·ββοΈ

βSpaceβ Isnβt a Bad Thing πΆββοΈβ€οΈ
I donβt care how much you love each other, sometimes you need a breather. Spending every waking moment together might sound cute, but it can drive anyone crazy. Have your own life. Go out with your friends, binge-watch your favorite trash TV solo, or take a walk by yourself. Itβs okay to miss each other a littleβit makes the time together even sweeter. π―
π‘ Why: Absence makes the heart grow fonder. And keeps you from snapping at each other over who finished the last of the Minute Maid π©π©

Relationships donβt have to be hard, but they do take real talk, a little patience, and a lot of laughing at lifeβs weirdness together.
