Thing you learn unexpectedly in a long term relationship

Questioning your Relationship is normal

Being in a long term relationship, occasionally questioning if your partner is "The One" is normal. In life, want we wanted is happiness together with the person we loved. We want the assurance that the decision we made is right. Everyone has doubts from time to time, whether its for the future or relationship. As long as the doubt aren't lingering and constant, they are normal and even healthy.

You will Experience Temptation

Some people say that "You can like more than but you can only love one." Being in a relationship doesn't prevent us from liking or from being attracted to someone sometimes, especially nowadays. Social medias can be a bridge to interact with the people from our past and present who might not have the best intentions. However, being aware of the temptations allows us to keep our guard up and fight it.

Long term relationship can feel boring

Since you know each other for a long time, you might feel bored especially when to spend of the time together. However, if you truly love each other you will work to find the joy and happiness in everyday.

Forgiveness is Crucial

I remember @Yen, this is for you.

If your partner did something that hurt you, you should communicate about it and work out for a solution together. Don't give a cold shoulder. Arguments will happen, you should fully dealt with it and forgot it and never brought it up again. This allows a couple to move forward.

Arguments are Normal

Arguing is inevitable in every long term relationship. It doesn't matter whether it's a tiny squabble over little things or a serious disagreement, what really matter is how you communicate during and after the argument to solve it. How you work tjings out after a fight is more important than what you are both arguing.

As long as your partner can communicate well, appreciate each other well and can grow together, there's no way your long term relationship has to end.
