Soooo I know I don't keep up with this thing as often as I should or would like to but I do have a lot of ideas for this year that I want to blog about and stuff like that so please don't leave me and stay tuned but right now it is 8:13 am January 13th and I have not slept...I have literally been up since 1:00 January 12th....ok anywho sorry I am rambling but this post really has nothing to do with what this blog is about but I was on this website called "Until I Get Married" basically about a single guy and his take on relationships, very interesting check it out, . Okay so there was a post there called five things I won't be doing until I am married and I felt inspired to write my own little list. I was going to do this privately but I thought hey why not post it on my blog. Anyway this list of his got me thinking we really do too much too soon in relationships...I mean sheesh by the time we are married we've done everything there is to do...where is the excitement (perhaps a reason the divorce rate is so high? I'm just saying). Ok so here goes my list:
1. No going away on trips together- This is a rule that I've been had for myself. I just want to save my first trip away with my husband on our honeymoon. Going away for a trip can be very very intimate and I just don't want to share that with someone who is just a boyfriend. At this point in my life I realize boyfriends will come and go and no matter what we think while in a relationship a boyfriend is not really that stable of a situation, shoot here today gone tmrw. Besides one of my favorite places is the mountains and I'd like to share that with one person. Imagine you are married and you and your hubby are going to the same resort you used to have one or many of your exes take you.
2. Shacking up- I've made this mistake in the past and I will not repeat it. I will not, mark my words, ever move in with a man until I have a ring on my left ring finger and a wedding date set. Been there done that, never again. I honestly and whole-heartedly believe that shacking up will curse your relationship. This is not a relationship blogspot so I will not go into it anymore than that. #Thatisall
3. No changing of the facebook relationship status- I took this from the original blog but it is such a great idea. I mean do they really even matter. How many guys have tried to talk to you with his status as in a relationship? I think that little status thing is childish anyway. Me and my homegirl joked that if the status is changed on facebook that is how you know its serious but nowadays I don't think so. I mean plus how tacky does it look when every few months your relationship status toggles back and forth from single, it's complicated, in a relationship, in and open relationship....just, I'm not going to bother anymore when I am married I will put I am married and leave it at that.
4. No sharing pets- Also taken from original. I am the type of person to really get attached to an animal, especially a dog. So if I were to get a pet with my boo and we broke up it'd be like a custody battle over who gets to keep it. So I'll never go in on a pet with my boyfriend.
5. Alright so last but not least, I will not make a big life decision based on my boyfriend- This means moving to a new city, turning down opportunites, missing big events etc..
Okay sorry this will be my last relationship post because this is not a relationship blogspot and I don't want it to be but I would like to hear y'alls list.
