Re: relationships are hard - December 21st 2022, 12:50 AM

Hey,

I can't imagine what it must be like to have to continue your relationship in secret even though your an adult. I understand that you do not want to upset your family and their traditions, especially if you are at home where it may not be safe to do so. I wouldn't enter a relationship that your parents arranged for you unless it is someone you truly love or care about, because even though they have their traditions it is ultimately your decision who you are in a relationship with.

I think you need to have a talk with your partner about everything when you get a chance to talk to them in private. Maybe if your parents aren't home or if you are in a room where your parents can't hear you, you can talk to your partner. Let them know that you care about them a lot but are having a hard time with the fact that you two can't do the things a normal couple would like calling all the time. Maybe the two of you can come up with some solutions together to show that you love and care about each other, even with the distance and your parents getting in the way. There may be things that mean something special just to the two of you, your own way of showing love. Communication is the key to any good relationship and communicating about it will allow your partner to express his frustrations, allow you to tell them what you are thinking, and come up with solutions together. It's not just on you to come up with any one solution.


Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
