Sorry if this offends anyone:
"Open relationships" are for cowards and/or sluts.
When two people decide to spend time together because they enjoy eachother's company - that is called being friends. (this does not qualify as a romantic/serious relationship)
When two people decide to have sex with one another because they are attracted to eachother - that is called being "fuck friends", if you will. (this ALSO does not qualify as a relationship)
When two people decide that they would rather spend their time with their respective mate than with anyone else AND voice this commitment - THAT imo is a relationship.
BF/GF just feels real. Sounds corny but you just know. If you're not sure - you're not there yet. |
Ah, the quaint little naiveté of someone who's never been burned in a relationship. I wish I could go back to the days when I thought I "just knew".
Sex is not love, love is not commitment, and commitment is not necessarily even friendship. And even if you were to say that the "____friend" terminology implies all of these things together, you'll notice that none of the terms have very clear definitions, and there's the rub: for some people, love is just codependency, and for other people, a "commitment" could be seeing each other once a month with no other strings attached.
I've got a nice shiny penny for anyone who knows where this quote comes from (no cheating on Google):
| quote: | Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude
Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right |
That's the only definition that's ever made sense to me. If it doesn't make sense to you, then you're probably confusing it with infatuation.
