I hate, absolutely hate, these stupid relationship goals I see on every social media website. Every relationship is different, not every man and woman will treat you the same as the next, that is common knowledge, therefore, there should not be a commonality in every single relationship. With that being said, I find it pretty despicable that people post a picture of clothes, notes, flowers, shoes and, beside it, say "I wish my boyfriend/girlfriend did this." Seriously, get a grip. He/she may not spend $200 randomly on clothes or shoes, but I am sure they do everything in their power to make you happy, and that doesn't need to be done by ridiculous, materialistic expectations.

Besides that, we young adults don't really have money to blow on new Nike jumpsuits for our significant other, and if we did have the money maybe it should be spent on something like, I don't know maybe food, groceries, or school supplies? Maybe a better partner would be someone who encourages you to take your money and spend it on something you actually need and not outrageous gifts.

These types of "goals" set unrealistic expectations for young adults in their love lives. Nobody should walk into a relationship expecting their boyfriend/girlfriend to have the kind of money lying around to throw extravagant, meaningless, presents waiting every day. I hope all of this comes to pass, or the majority of people start to realize that everyone has a different way of expressing their love and it should never be about how much someone spends on you but the way they respect you, cherish you, love you, motivate you, and encourage you to be the best you can be.

Being in a long-term relationship myself, I have come to realize that the things I appreciate the most are not gifts he gives me, but the love he shows me every single day. Not only that, but the gifts he gives me are special and meaningful, not just something he feels like giving me because social media says all women like this and that. This movement should die off and let everyone be happy and true to themselves in their relationships.
