I’m about to celebrate my 4 year anniversary with my boyfriend. It hasn’t been an easy road getting to where we are today, but along the way I’ve learned a few good tips to keeping our relationship happy and going. Here are my top 4 tips to celebrate my 4 crazy years with #TheBae
He actually took this photo!
- You have to remember who you are. Never let the person that you’re with take away the good bits about you. The things that make you, you. I’ve been in a few relationships before I met The Bae. The one thing that destroyed me the most in those relationships was the fact that none of my exes really supported “me” being “me”. They always wanted to change all of my quirks. Of course, I’m not perfect. There are a lot of things I need to change about myself, but if you can’t accept me for who I am, then you can’t have me. The Bae and I know who we are as individuals, and we don’t expect the other to become anyone different. I fell in love with him, for him, he fell in love with me, for me.
- Honesty is ALWAYS the best policy. This is such a cliche phrase, but it’s true. I don’t lie to The Bae about anything. After the most horrible time in our relationship, we made a deal to never lie to each other. The only thing we are allowed to “lie” about is a surprise where the truth eventually comes out; like surprise birthday parties. I actually start to feel a little bit nauseous whenever I can’t tell my Bae something important right away.
- Don’t stop communicating, and communicate smart. The most dangerous thing you could do in a relationship is to stop communicating. The truth is, no matter how much we think they do, people can’t read our minds. There are some days where I don’t want to communicate, and I shut down. On those days, I always let him know that I’m not feeling like myself and just need a little alone time. He always respects it, and we go back to communicating about it afterwards. You can still take time to yourself, but always talk to the Bae and let them know what’ going on.
- Don’t stop chasing each other. Now this is one that we’re still working on. If you stop trying to keep your flame alive, it will go out. I like that every once in a while we come up with cute ideas to go on dates together. That we still call each other almost every day after work during our commutes to catch up on the day. It reminds you of the honey moon phase when you started falling in love with each other. Love is like kindling that caught fire when you met. If you want to keep that fire burning the entire olympic flame carrying route, you have to keep it alive.
True love is out there for us. I believe that every one has someone special out there for them. What’s your best relationship advice?
