No matter if you're just starting or you've been together for a long time, as long as you're both serious with each other... you should expect these:
1. Fights or misunderstandings
Let’s face it, this is inevitable. But even though it’s one of the worst things ever for a couple to undergo through, the most important thing is that they make up in the end. Someone needs to lower down that great wall of pride and forgive. And when I say forgive, I meant really forgive. So don’t be discouraged or whatever if you and your boyfriend fight or have a misunderstanding. That’s part of being in a relationship. A serious one.
2. Trusts
In a couple, either one or even both will have a past relationship. It’s gonna be okay if the past and your guy/gal isn’t talking anymore, but it’s gonna be a whole different scenario when the two are friends and actively talking, even. Or if there’s no ex, maybe a hot classmate or workmate.
But even so, and no matter what, trust the guy/gal when he/she looks into your eyes and assures you that you are the only one he/she loves and that past is past. The two of you can even talk it out. Trust me, I learned this the hard way and I am so not going to get jealous anymore.
3. Loyalty
Loyalty reveals itself when the person you love only looks at you no matter how hot or bulk or busty a person who passed by may be. That’s the only explanation I have for this. Really.
4. Dates & Spaces
You don’t need to meet up every freaking day and have a date all the freaking time. The two of you should enjoy and understand the need for two different types of time: “space” times and “date” times.
There will be moments when you’re both enjoying two different or similar things in two different places. Like for example, my loved one and I enjoy watching movies in the comfort of our own homes without any distraction from each other.
Sometimes you just need time for yourself, too. Don’t let your world revolve around a person. Remember that you’re also a human being and that you have your own set of friends or likes or responsibilities or to-do’s. Besides, your loved one might feel like you’re strangling him/her.
5. Growth & Development
In a relationship, especially a serious one, there will be changes. Changes that are for the betterment of you both. Remember, communication is the key here. One must speak up if there is a problem so the other can learn and understand the need for change. This change can lead to the growth and development of their relationship.
6. No more awkward or embarrassing moments
Seriously, you start farting in front of each other and do stuff in front of the other that you thought before was embarrassing. Before, I was shy to even eat in front of my guy, but now, I eat a lot. Like really, A LOT. And he doesn’t even mind nor judge me of my appetite.
Awkward silences are hard to fill. But when you’re in a serious relationship, awkward silences doesn’t exist. The two of you can just stare at the sky or the side street for hours. For me, the explanation of this is that you find comfort in each other’s presence and that removes the awkwardness.
7. Kilig moments aren't forever there
Ramon Bautista once said that true love begins after the kilig has gone. But it doesn't actually die away. It's still there. It'll come once in awhile to spice up your love life or put a smile on your face.
Kilig moments depend on the couple, actually. It's up to them to keep it alive or leave it to die.
