Oh ladies, what are we going to do with ourselves? We’re forgiving by nature. We like to give people the benefit of the doubt. It often works in our favor but not when it comes to matters of the heart. When it comes to love, we need to give ourselves real talk more often. Instead, we’ll sometimes tell ourselves these lies in relationships.

I’m fine with something casual

He’ll come around to kids

Sure, he moves his body as far away as possible from any child in the room but he secretly adores them. He says he never ever wants them and that I should know that and I should be with somebody else if I want them but…he’ll change his mind.

It’s good we have separate social lives

Why should I meet his friends or he mine? We had separate social lives before meeting and we can keep it that way! I don’t mind. I really don’t mind that my friends always ask me where my boyfriend is or that he makes me leave before his friends show up. That’s fine!

He’s right—he shouldn’t have to pay for date night

I mean…he’s right. I should pay for date night. Why should he have to pay? Chivalry is…old fashioned. He’s totally right about that. It’s cool that I pay for most of date nights even though he makes good money.
