The grass is always greener on the other side- when you’re single, you feel sad looking at people who have been together for a long time, and when you’ve been with someone for too long, you crave doing things single people do.
Everything said and done, here are a few woes all people in long term relationships have from time to time.
1. You can’t hit on people openly
Not even casually. Nope.
2. And then answer to their significant other if they see it
What? I didn’t do anything!
3. They can’t use new dating apps that have come out
They can’t see what it’s like out there.
4. If, out of anger, any one of them says they’re breaking up, they both know it’s not serious
Which is a good thing overall, but when you’re really really angry and you say it, the entire meaning of it gets diluted. That sucks.
5. You are unavailable for everyone
No one in your vicinity is even going to try an flirt with you.
6. Almost all your friends are in the same circle, so there is no newness
7. Their parents know you, so you automatically have to be more responsible around them
You have to be less talkative, better dressed, and you have to pretend to be normal. What a task.
8. Sometimes it bothers you that your parents like your significant other more than you
They take so much care of everything when your S.O. is around. Wtf.
9. There are no firsts any more, like the first kiss, the first date, the first romantic moment together
You often wish you could sneak around, do things secretly, because that made everything so much more fun.
10. The initial thrill of the relationship is gone, and you miss that
When you used to be all over each other all the time, and you used to talk to each other all the livelong day. And now? Sigh.
11. People get weird when they don’t see your bae with you when you’re out
Gaiz, relax.
12. You’ve forgotten how to be single, and you kind of hate it sometimes
No idea what it’s like to get dressed for the first date and not be yourself. Nope.
13. Although, these things hardly matter when you look at your S.O. after a long day, and all you want to do is be with them
Their face is everything.
14. And when you have something that is so damn good, there’s none of it you would want to give up
When you see them, you forget all the doubts and fears you have. Because at the end of the day, you would never trade what you have with them for the thrill of being single. Sweatpants and staying in over dressing up and flirting, any day!
