1. You begin to question your self-worth.

This is a BIG one. Your significant other should reassure you and never let you feel that you are not enough. If this is beginning in your relationship, be on the look-out. Your mental health should always be the number one priority, and if your partner is doing something to jeopardize this, it might be time to let this one fizzle out.

2. He/she disregards the plans you had made together.

If you are constantly getting canceled on or ditched for things or people that should not come before you or your relationship, this could be a sign that your relationship is on the outs. If your partner feels strongly toward you, others will not come before you. Obviously, there are some exceptions to this one. But if it continuously occurs throughout your relationship, this could become an issue for you both.

3. It is obvious you are not a priority in his/her life.

Do you feel that you are often begging for attention or that you are being "too clingy"? If your partner wants to be with you, he/she will make time for you. You won't have to plead with them to spend time with you, they will want to. They should want to be with you as much as you want to be with them, and not shame you for requesting more one-on-one time.

4. The two of you fight more than you are happy.

Sometimes you don't even realize you are fighting. It seems like it is just a casual conversation until it suddenly turns sour and ends with yelling and slamming doors. Arguing isn't always necessarily a bad thing if it is over a logical issue that needs to be addressed. But if you find yourself bickering over your boyfriend buying the wrong cereal or your girlfriend breathing too loudly, you need to assess your relationship. If you disagree with your partner more than you agree, it might be time to seriously think about ending the relationship.

5. The relationship feels one-sided.

If you are making all the reservations, planning the dates, and buying the gifts, you may be a victim of a one-sided relationship. If this is the case, take a step back. See how much you spend time with them and how many dates you go on. If it drastically reduces, you have your answer. A relationship should be an equal give and take. One person should never be doing all the work.

6. You notice yourself feeling sad and insecure more often than not.

Though your partner is by no means responsible for all of your emotions, they should NEVER tear you down, only build you up. Your significant other should empower you and make you feel loved and wanted. If your boyfriend/girlfriend is always critical of you and never gives you a single compliment, get out! Solitude is better than toxicity.

7. You don't laugh together like you used to.

They say laughter is the best medicine and it also rings true for relationships. In the beginning, you and your partner cracked jokes and made each other laugh all the time. Now, not so much. Laughter is necessary for any healthy relationship. You need to be able to be yourself with your significant other and if you can't even laugh together, something is seriously wrong.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
