Should your relationship be private or public?

There is something I realized recently: Everyone has an opinion about everything, about everyone else. Whether it is the way your walk, the way you dress, the way your face look in the morning when you didn’t have any sleep the night before or even the person you love. Everyone has their own biased opinion about you and what you do, and the more you let them in those personal affairs, the more they will try to tell you what to do.

I also realized that a healthy relationship is the one that doesn’t have the need to show to the rest of the world. Rather than bitching to your friends about your partner, use that time to find out the problems, talk to your partner, compromise or fix it. If you’re very confused about what to do, it is okay to rely on your loved ones, your family, your best friends to give you advice. But at the end of the day, it is still you who needs to make the decisions for yourself and your relationship.

Everyone is human. And everyone makes silly mistakes. And that’s okay. As long as no-one tries to tell you what is right and what is wrong, pushing you towards what they believe is “best” for you, telling you to break up or be with a person you don’t want to be with. A healthy and happy relationship should be the one between two people, when it’s three or more, it’s become a crowd.
