15 Impractical Things Women Should Stop Expecting From Long-Term Relationships

Long-term relationships require a lot of love and patience. People always tell you about the rainbows and butterflies, but there is definitely more to a long-term relationship than that. The honeymoon phase may last for a good six to twelve months, but what should you expect after that? He is not going to be the hopeless romantic that he was, neither are you going to always dress up to make you happy. Here is a list of some of the most impractical things that women cannot expect from long-term relationships.

#1. He will not always be romantic

Romance is obviously essential in any relationship. It is constantly present in the first few months of dating. But as time goes by, you might find the romance fading a bit. Do not worry! This is bound to happen. Relationships are based on bigger things than romance. And once you realise this, romance will feel trivial. Till then, do not expect him to always be romantic and mutter sweet nothings in your ears.

Yes, he is your boyfriend, but he is still getting to know you. How you react about different things, is something he is also learning. There may be times you might be upset and he will not be able to say what you want him to. Cut him some slack there. Understand, even he is learning and growing with you, and does not always have the right things to say.

#3. You will need space to grow stronger

Spending a lot of time together can at times become stressful. You might get a little sick of having him around all the time. Do not feel bad about it! Instead, give yourself a little space and do meet some other friends. Encourage him to do the same. This will lead you towards a happier, healthier and stronger relationship.

Let us ask you this- if there is a cute guy going past you, will you not notice him? Of course, you will! But, that obviously does not mean you do not love your man. Same goes for him. He may notice other women, but his heart is set on you.

#5. Not everyone around you might like him

Your friends and family might not approve of him. That is alright, you can live with a few people not liking him. Do not make it a big deal. Stressing over this is pointless, so let it go.

You and your boyfriend are two different people. He might support you in most of your decisions, but there will come a time where he gets to know you better and understands what might or might not be right for you. He may not support all your decisions immediately, but if you sit down and talk to him about it, things might be a little different.

#7. He will not like all your friends

Mixing your friends and your boyfriend is not always a good idea. In the beginning, having your BFFs and your BF in the same group may seem fun. But as time goes by, your friends will want to talk to only you about something, or your boyfriend may not want to hang out with your friends. Either way, separate as soon as you see a dispute. These things are bound to happen.

Yes, that does happen! You may not always be hot for each other and jump in the bedroom every chance you get. This will not happen in the start, but as you get comfortable, things start to change and one of those things happen to be sex. So, keep calm and accept this as a part of an awesome relationship.

#9. He might not say I love you each time he talks

He loves you and you know that, but that does not mean he will say it every time he opens his mouth. As time goes by, the number of audible ‘I love you’ might become less, but nothing changes in his heart.
