If you're in a long relationship, you can admit that time flies, especially when you're having fun and enjoying life with that person. First, a year goes by and then before you know it you might be moving in together or making bigger plans. Or if you're like everyone from my hometown, you're already engaged or married. Here are 5 things you know all too well by being in a serious relationship:
1. You're tired of hearing, "You're too young."
"Your twenties are supposed to be the time you party and meet new people." "You're going to regret not going out with your friends." Let me just throw in my two cents here really quickly.... I've met a lot of people, maybe even more with being in a relationship, and not only did I gain another family, but I get to call my boyfriend's friend's mine as well. I wasn't really the one to go out every night anyway, but now when I do get to go out, I get to go out and come home to my boyfriend and that's something I wouldn't trade. Also, if you have a good trust level with your boyfriend like you should, you two can still go out with your friends and have a girls/guys night.
2. You buy things for the both of you.
You used to go to the mall and just buy things for you. Now, you go and see something and say to yourself, "Oh wow, this would look good on my boyfriend." Or, "This would look good in our apartment." You no longer get things for just you, it's a package deal now.
3. Burping and Farting? What is that?
When you get comfortable with your boyfriend or girlfriend, you REALLY get comfortable. Burping, farting, or even going to the bathroom together becomes something you don't even acknowledge anymore. Or if you have a relationship like mine, you fist bump and rate each other's burps and can't stop laughing and calling each other gross after one of you farts.
4. "Social Media"
Social media isn't the social media that you had in high school. The only time that you go on social media might be for school, work, or maybe to check up on old friends. Besides that, the only other time you go on social media and actually post something it will most likely be about your significant other or something that you guys did together (Because who doesn't like to show off what you have, right?).
5. You know how to have a real conversation and how to resolve a fight.
Just because you might be young doesn't mean you're not wise. When you're in a true relationship these petty little fights won't mean anything to you. You two will have been through so much that you can sit down and really take a step back and stop bickering over something that's not worth it. You two know how to communicate with each other and you don't need to question your partner because you know where they stand and where their heart is at. That is one of the greatest feelings in the world.
