7 Relationships You Won't Find In A Bedtime Story

Growing up, all the childhood books your mom would read you at bedtime contained stories where the woman was always rescued by the man and they lived happily ever after. They never talked about the man's side hoe or the booty call the woman had before she met her prince charming. Thankfully college gives a more accurate bedtime story about relationships.

Here are a few relationships you probably never heard about in your childhood bedtime story:

1. The Booty Call

The relationship step up from the one night stand. You only talk after 11 p.m. and it's strictly to see if the other is free. There is usually no spending the night because that could lead to a morning conversation or breakfast and that is against the rules. You don't ask each other about their day or their feelings because you honestly don't care.

2. The Study Buddies

You guys share a hard class together and a mutual attraction. One day the teacher assigns a project or big test and one of you suggest to study together. You text each other about the work only so the conversation can lead into "studying." Next thing you know, you're an hour into your study session and all your studying is sexology when you were supposed to be studying stats.

3. The One Night Stand

You make eye contact across the bar and know it will be a one night stand at first sight. But once the night is over and morning rolls around you say your goodbyes and go your separate ways, usually without exchanging a last name or even a phone number.

4. The in Limbo Couple

You both have one foot on the single side and one foot on the exclusive side but neither of you have brought up the conversation that will steer you both to one side. You do all the things a couple would do without explicitly referring to each other as your boyfriend/girlfriend.

5. The Fairy Tale

Every girl has that one boy who she fantasizes about. He may be in your class or someone you see in the gym but either way, you guys have never made it past the common social graces. But maybe one day you will become irresistible and he will come save you from your tower of misery and you will live happily ever after... yeah, one day.

6. The why are you even dating couple??

We all know the couple who stays together but also stays with someone else on the weekends. They have been together since high school but can't seem to call it quits even though both of their hearts are obviously elsewhere.

7. The Lucky Ones

That one couple that seems to have it all. They are both genuinely interested in making the relationship work and think the utmost best of each other. There is the possibility they can make it to the end and everyone dreams of one day having what they have one. They're proof that fairytales may just exist.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
