It Really Is You & Not Him: 10 Reasons You Can’t Find a Good Man

2.  You compare your relationship to everyone else’s.

I was guilty of this for a long time.  I knew what I signed up for when I started dating the boyfriend.  He wasn’t the “dozen roses for no reason” type and I fell in love with him anyway.  He had 1000 other great qualities that I decided mattered more than flowers, candy all that stuff most people think love is about.  Still, whenever a friend called to brag about romantic walks on the beach or posted a pic of breakfast in bed from their “hubby” I found myself doubting my relationship.  Eventually I got my flowers and a good lesson that every relationship grows in its own time.

First off, the internet is good for highlighting the parts of life and love people WANT you to know about.  No one’s running to post about the child “hubby” made with some other chick.  Second, you have to learn to appreciate what’s special about YOUR relationship.  Whether it’s Tamar and Vince or Cousin Peaches and Ray Ray from around the corner, stop obsessing about every else’s green lawn and focus on watering your own damn grass.
