Why Our Relationship Isn't Perfect (and That's Okay)
A lot of people think a good relationship means always being on the same page, with no fights and no doubts. After 7.5 years, my boyfriend and I know that's just not true. Our relationship isn't perfect, and honestly, that's what makes it so real and so strong. We've been through a lot of ups and downs. There were times when it felt like I was the only one holding things together. My partner wasn't always sure of his priorities, and the weight of the relationship fell on me. I'd feel completely burned out, ready to give up, and I'd lose hope. But just when I felt like letting go, he'd reach for my hand, hold me tight, and remind me why we were fighting for this. Then the roles would switch. There were moments when he felt like he was carrying everything, and I was the one struggling. But we’ve always managed to find our way back to each other. We’ve had our share of yelling matches, thrown things, and stormy arguments, but through it all, we never gave up on us. Our journey hasn't been about avoiding problems, but about learning to face them together. We've learned that a healthy relationship isn't about two perfect people, but about two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other. We choose to stick by each other, to work on ourselves, and to always prioritize our shared future. That's why our love isn't just about the good times—it's about the messy, complicated, and beautiful moments that have shaped us into the couple we are today. P.S Yes we still argue, and that's healthy! Learn from each argument and grow!
