I was reading --Everleigh--'s story and I was reminded of something (this time you don't have to feel targeted, because you're story actually reminded me of something a lot of others lack)...

Relationships are more than kissing and other forms of physical intimacy and sharing deep secrets.

It's about caring for one another during the good and bad times. It's becoming part of someone else's life; their routine, their friends and family and bringing out the best in each other.

It's not always easy and NOT because there is a love triangle or someone plotting against the relationship.

If I were to he in a relationship right now, my boyfriend wouldn't have to worry about other guys (except maybe my horse 😂😂) and other typical Wattpad troubles...it'd be him knowing how to calm me down when I'm stressed (which I am 90% of the time), handling my moodiness when I'm PMSing, me refusing to go out because I'm studying and so om and so forth.

All which will be really challenging and in turn I'll have to manage parts of his life.

That's where the 'more than just physical intimacy' bit comes in; because you have to learn about each other's habits and ticks that others don't see, making time for each other despite hectic schedules (I feel this is more applicable when you're done with high school), learning to deal with each other's weaknesses and things that annoy you (because NO ONE is perfect and everyone will have at least one thing that annoys you which they don't 'get rid off') and it's a part I think most Wattpad stories get wrong.
