The Person You've Been Dating For 7 Years Is Holding You Back From Your Husband

I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's the god damn truth.

Just because you could marry someone, doesn’t mean you should. I certainly needed to hear that in my 20s when I was dating someone just because “they liked me.” But when you get into a long term relationship, especially when it’s from a young age, you make the mistake of getting way too comfortable with this person.

A girl I know and love recently left her 7+ year relationship. Everyone on the outside could see that these people were not a match. That she was way too good for this guy. I didn’t know what she saw in him, but I certaintly wasn’t going to be the one to tell her (she’s not a close close friend). But even if she was, I really do think it’s important for people to figure this stuff out on their own.
