Relationship are Hard

Image
By Ashia Murphy Petunia Petals
So my boyfriend and I have been having some disagreements recently about what direction we would like our relationship to move towards. I've always been in open relationships and never really tried monogamy before this relationship. It's no secret that relationships can be hard work. From day-to-day trivial arguments to long-term disagreements, it can often feel like there's no way out of a troubled relationship. But, believe it or not, there is hope. 

The first step to repairing a struggling relationship is recognizing that it's not all doom and gloom. No matter how bad things may seem, it's important to remember why you chose to be with this person in the first place. Identifying the positive aspects in the relationship can help both partners focus on what's working and put them in a better position to make things even better.

The second step is communications. It's so important to make sure you're both on the same page about how to make things work. Find out what the other person needs and wants in the relationship, and be honest about any changes that need to be made. Try to have regular conversations and brainstorm solutions together. It may take time, but it can really pay off in the end.

Finally, don't forget to show love and appreciation. A little effort can go a long way. A random gesture of kindness, a simple note of gratitude or a surprise from time to time can all help keep the spark alive in a deteriorating relationship. Don't underestimate the power of a simple smile or hug.

It's not easy to work through a struggling relationship, but it can be done. With a little effort and good communication, the two of you can work towards a brighter future. Don't forget to believe in yourself and the power of love!

On one hand, you're really not that hungry and you don't want to ruin your sleep schedule. On the other hand, you know that if you don't eat something soon, you're going to get hangry. You decide to give in to the munchies and quietly get out of bed, making your way to the kitchen. As you rummage through the pantry, you try to be quiet so you don't wake up your roommates. You're not sure what you're in the mood for, but you know you want something tasty. After a midnight snack. You make your way into the kitchen. You open the fridge, hoping to find something that will satisfy your craving without being too unhealthy. Unfortunately, all you see is a wilted salad and some leftovers that have been in the fridge for way too long. You close the fridge, disappointed. You debate whether or not to go back to bed or to try and f...

My Experience with Love and Healthy Relationships

By Ashia Murphy Petunia Petals
  Love is a many-splendored thing, as the saying goes, but it's also a tricky one. In healthy relationships, love means something different to everyone. Some people see it as a feeling, others as a choice, and still others as a combination of the two. One of the most important things to understand about love in healthy relationships is that it's not always easy. It takes work, compromise, and a willingness to grow and change together. But when it's done right, it can be one of the most fulfilling and rewarding experiences of our lives. Love in healthy relationships is about more than just butterflies in your stomach or a feeling of euphoria. It's about building a deep connection with someone, based on trust, honesty, and mutual respect. It's about supporting each other through the good times and the bad, and being there for each other no matter what. It's also about understanding that love is not always perfect. There will be disagreements, fights, and moments o...
