People often learn valuable lessons that can benefit their future relationships, and everything Sri said resonated with many. A comment on her post read: “10 years of dating wisdom in 11 tips? Love this crash course!” Another said: “I can cry like my big sister is talking to me.”
“If their ex-girlfriend reaches out to you…”
So, what exactly did Sri have to say about what she learned about dating when she opened up about the complexities of modern relationships? Read on to find out what she had to say:
1. Sacrifice and compromise are two very different things. If you have to change your entire fundamental personality in order to be with someone, then you’re probably with the “wrong person.”
2. If your partner scolds you for something you really love about yourself – “You’re too loud”, “You’re too brash” or “Your style is too loud” – this is the wrong relationship. Please leave it.
3. If you chastise your partner for things they like but you fundamentally dislike, leave the poor guy alone; and please evacuate.
4. If you don’t like their friends, any of their friends at all, if you feel unfit, then you are unfit. Please, soldier, evacuate.
5. If their friends warn you that this is not a good relationship and that the person probably needs help, believe their friends. Go away!
6. When their ex-girlfriend tells you, “I’m a little f***ed up because of that person,” believe me from personal experience.
“If they don’t respect your work…”
7. If one of you doesn’t laugh during an argument to end it, if you both can’t put each other before your ego at times, then this is not your man.
8. If your close friends and siblings don’t like them, you need to appreciate something about that relationship.
9. When you first start dating someone, don’t think “10 reasons why they should love me”. Think of 10 reasons why you like them.
10. If they don’t respect your work and what you do, or they’re usually the negative Nelly in your life, then they’re not the right person for you. Your man should believe in you on days when you don’t even believe in yourself.
11. You would rather sleep alone in your own bed than feel lonely sleeping next to someone.
