I have been in some not so great relationships. I dated guys who I thought treated me well, and it turns out they really did not. A few months a go I met my current boyfriend, who treats me like a princess. He treats me ten times better then any guy every has. I am incredible lucky to have met him. Dating him has taught me a few things about realtioships. These are a few things I have learned:

You put up with a lot of shit in the past

In my past relatinships I put up with a lot of stuff that just is not okay. I would think its okay if a guy ditched me, or did not respond to my texts. I put up with a guy who said he cared about me but never wanted to see me. How does that one work? Once I started dating my current boyfriend I realized that I let some guys get away with some shitty things.

Actions speak louder then words

I can not stress this enough. If a person cares they will show it through there actions, it is more then just talk. I dated a guy who only wanted to see me a few times a week but claimed he cared about me. How does that work? If he cares, he will want to see you, so he will try.

You deserve to be treated well

Why did you ever put up with that other shit? You desever nothing but the best, so why is it okay to deal with that? Its not.

You will never put up with it ever again

After being treated well you can not just go back. You can not go from a guy who treates you like a princess to a guy who ignores you.

Even if my relationship with my current boyfriend ends I will never go back to being treated shitty. I know I deserve better, and will forever be greatful to him for these lessons.
