I never understood what "it's complicated" mean't. How is that even a relationship status? You're either together or you're not. I quickly understood what "it's complicated" mean't when I got into one of those relationships.
I think "it's complicated" because life is complicated. Life is crazy as it is and to have to take on someone else's life too can be overwhelming. A relationship is two people who love each other and want to do life together. But what happens when life is so crazy it becomes hard to even be together?
At a certain point, I think you have to decide if complicated is worth it. Are the hard times worth it just because you have that special someone? Do the good days far outweigh the bad? Does your boyfriend or girlfriend stick by you through every phase of life, including the ones that aren't so pretty?
I also think social media makes relationships "complicated." There are so many problems that arise. "Why did he like every one of this girls pictures?" "How come she won't post a picture of us when we've been together 3 months?" These dumb social media questions create so many problems in relationships. And for what?! To get all mad and frustrated because of a dumb account where people don't really care anyway?
I also think friends can make it complicated. Every guy has his bros. His bros were there way before you were. But does that make you any less important than them? NO! The man should still put you as his first priority. Guys tend to let their "boys" influence who they are with or if they should stay with someone. On the other hand, women are sensitive. No woman wants to see her best friend hurt, so she's going to steer her away from any man that she feels is toxic. But newsflash...they aren't the ones in the relationship. YOU ARE.
So what do we do? Let's erase the phrase "it's complicated" and use "we are working on us for us." If two people love each other, they will always find a way to make it work. Keep your relationship between the two of you and uncomplicate it because "it's complicated" is not a relationship status.
