Relationships- the four types

Relationships are a complicated subject. Every relationship is completely different and yet, when us girls talk and share stories and advice, they can all sound so familiar. Relationships can be split into four general types. The madly in love, the strolling along, the rocky road and the one and only relationship.

Type 1: The madly in love relationship.

This is the relationship that we are always jealous of, yet, at the same time, it is the relationship that makes us feel slightly sick. We never hear stories of arguments or disagreements but instead stories of what their darling did for them that weekend, be it a sail along the river or a romantic meal for two. They go on the best holidays and take a million pictures at arms length of them kissing with the sunset in the background and they draw their initials in the white sand. They have the best sex. They do it literally every night (seriously how can you be bothered?!) but yet it's always so completely perfect and amazing and they fall asleep in each others arms with a post orgasmic smile on their faces. Of course, they are your friends, and you ARE happy for them, but you secretly wish they'd have one bloody argument at least!


Type 2: The strolling along.

This is probably the most popular type of relationship. You love each other and you're happy, but he doesn't half piss you off (at least once or twice a week.) You're content in each others company and you don't really have any major problems, although there's sometimes an argument that spirals out of control and you do wish he'd stop being so laidback and start thinking about your future together. Sex is good- sometimes experimental and exciting, but, unlike the madly in loves, neither of you can be bothered to do it every. single. day. You have your friends and he has his friends and you're more than happy with the balance you have between your love life and your social life. You go for nice meals, he gets you good presents and he send you flowers on special occasions and, despite his flaws, you wouldn't want anybody else.

Type 3: The rocky road.

Every girl in this world knows someone that breaks up with their boyfriend every other week. They seem to have undergone every single problem in the book. He's cheated on her, she's cheated on him, she's pregnant, oh wait, no she's not, he's being a right idiot recently and she can't be bothered with it anymore and she's literally NEVER speaking to him again. But yet, a few days later, it turns out they're texting, they're meeting up and they have unbelievable make up sex. Every single time, 100% guaranteed, they end up back together.

Type 4: The one and only.

The relationships in this category are in my opinion, the worst. People who are in a one and only relationship literally only care about their "one and only". They completely forget about their friends, they don't respond to texts and they don't answer phonecalls. They only come on nights out if their precious can come with them and they spend every minute of every day seeing or speaking to their other half. They seem to have forgotten that when everything messes up, because it does (every time) that they will need their friends there for them. Us girls are very good at forgiving and forgetting when we are faced with a friend in need. But is it really fair to forget about us until you have nobody else in your life? In my opinion, it's not. So if you're reading this and thinking "that's me", just take a little time out to remember who was there for you before you met the 'love of your life'.
