They are only reasons to hate if you make them that way.

5 Reasons You Love And Hate Your Significant Other
Caitlin Borrman

In a relationship, you can find a million things that you love about one another and one thing you absolutely can't stand. For some, it's easy to find things you love but then hate later on. Having a love/hate relationship with your significant other is normal.

1. They're Clingy.

It's easy to say that this is the most annoying quality about people. It's that feeling where they just will not leave you alone, especially when you need it the most.

Yet this quality is still lovable when you think about what it means. If they are clingy, it means they care and just want to be a part of everything you do.

2. They're Protective.

Sometimes it seems like they are harsh when discussing people you don't approve of or things you are doing.

They are just protecting you like a father would. They are just looking out for you and your best interest.

3. They Constantly Have Something To Say About Your Driving.

I'll admit it, this one is totally me. I know in the back of my head that I'm being such a mom and extremely annoying.

Honestly, I'm just worried about our safety and that's all that matters.

4. They Don't Talk To You.

For instance, it's after a fight or disagreement that they didn't approve of and now your significant other won't talk to you. This seems horrible, because you are supposed to be a team, not playing on opposing ones. Openness is key.

I am a culprit of this one. The reason I do it is because when I'm upset, I'm more likely to say something I don't mean. So instead of saying everything that is on my mind at that exact time, I like to take a step back and filter through what should be said and what shouldn't.

5. You're Family Loves Them More Than You.

Sure, this can be SUPER annoying. Like, "hey, I was here first".

Just know, it may seem like they love them more, but you are not replaceable. They are showing your significant other that they care about them too and that they are always welcome.


It's rough to think about how the bad side of these can destroy relationships, but you should always look at everything that bothers you from a different standpoint before making assumptions. All of these love/hate reasons are typically loving in some way.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
