19 Things No One Tells You About Being In A Relationship

Falling in love is the easy part.

Maintaining a healthy relationship, on the other hand takes some hard work.

The "honeymoon" phase will dwindle, but this doesn't mean that your relationship is no longer fulfilling.

You're not always going to get your way.

There are times when you'll have to put your comfort aside for your partner.

You'll have to face many of your own insecurities and fears in front of your partner.

Some of your friends might not be happy for you.

EVERYONE will want to give you relationship advice.

Some of it will be total bullshit, but some of it will be helpful.

You can't rely on your partner for your happiness. It's still your responsibility.

Relationships are not meant to fill voids in your life. If you don't like yourself out of a relationship, chances are, you won't like yourself in one either.

There will be times when you find partner totally unattractive and that is completely normal.

Your relationship won't look like other couple's and you shouldn't compare them. After all, looks can be deceiving.

There are times when your partner's habits will drive you insane!

Sex is not always graceful, passionate or romantic like in the movies.

It is normal for one partner to have a higher sex drive than the other (SPOILER ALERT: it's not always the guy).

The experience will be filled with intense highs and lows.

Your partner will do things that you will never understand and you're just going to have to deal with it.

You'll know you're with the right person when you still love them anyways!
