Adult relationships….
By definition…
An adult relationship, especially in a romantic context, is characterized by mature interpersonal dynamics, open communication, mutual respect, and a shared responsibility for the relationship’s well-being.
It goes beyond the “honeymoon phase” and focuses on building a lasting bond through trust, honesty, and understanding. Adult relationships also involve acknowledging each individual’s autonomy and needs, while still valuing the commitment and support they offer to each other.
Key point…Commitment!
Are we misinterpreting what an adult relationship is to suit our convenience…
Reality…When there’s NO commitment…it’s not an adult relationship…they are just a fuck buddy!
Don’t try to fancy it up to mean something it’s not with fancy terms.
Be honest…Call it for what it is!
THAT’S not an adult relationship…that’s actually a juvenile relationship…where one or both parties are unable to commit to ANYTHING…or one is compromising their values to accommodate the other person’s lack of values.
Adult relationships does not mean YOU are a convenient option until someone more convenient shows up…
Adult relationships does not mean YOU are open to date others…
THAT’S called an open relationship with NO commitment…very different from an ‘adult relationship’.
“You can’t have your cake and eat it too”.
The original saying emphasizes a desire to have it both ways, to enjoy a desired outcome without sacrificing ANYTHING.
Key point…
***You are unable, unwilling and incapable to commit or sacrifice ANYTHING***
Free will is a thing…
As an adult you can do as you please…but be honest.
So are you characterizing a relationship as an ‘adult relationship’ when they are just a fuck buddy…or are you just emotionally unavailable and are unable to commit to ANYTHING much less tomorrow’s lunch!
So are we characterizing shitz to make sense in our minds and assigning fancy names to suit our convenience.
Are we gaslighting our ‘fuck buddy’ into doing what we want them to do using the fancy term ‘Adult relationship’…because…
Here’s the TRUTH…
Having a fuck buddy…that ain’t an ‘adult relationship’…
This is as juvenile as juvenile can be…
This is a friend with benefits situation…
And Yo listen up…
If you are just a fuck buddy…
One piece of cake can be replaced by another real quick!
Neither of you are that special to each other in this dynamic!
And both of you are the perfect definition of what an Adult relationship is Not!
