Things people in long-term relationships don’t tell you
A long-term relationship is the ideal for many people — it’s an affirmation that both partners are serious about each other and are tied to the union for the long haul.
But not all that glitters is gold, and sometimes we look on at some unions and marvel, not knowing that behind the smiles there is turmoil.
What are some of the things people in long-term relationships won’t tell you?
Neil 41:
Sometimes they don’t tell you that they have reached their breaking point in the relationship and want to leave.
Junior 44:
They don’t tell you that half the time, they are bored with each other. The spark in a long-term relationship isn’t always there, and even though people would like you to believe that everything is good and that they are madly in love all the time, the truth is that it’s not always the case. There isn’t rainbows and blue skies all the time.
Ann Marie, 37:
They don’t tell you about the cheating. Nuff woman get bun and know ’bout it, but just have to keep quiet for one reason or the other.
Tina, 37:
They don’t tell you that sex isn’t exciting anymore because for one reason or the other they are not attracted to their partners like they used to be.
Richard, 37:
They don’t tell you about the ‘jackets’ that they know about. Sometimes it’s just love why he will decide to stay and mind the pickney that he knows isn’t his.
Delroy, 35:
Dem neva tell you seh she go a obeah man go tie him and a true him fraid mek him nuh lef.
Theo, 33:
They don’t admit that they are physically attracted to other people. Some people can act holy and make you think that it’s their partners alone they’re attracted to, but the truth is anyone can be attracted to another person regardless of whether or not they are in a relationship.
