Single to relationship...


One-minute life is about partying, having fun, and enjoying being single.  Then the next minute a significant other comes into the picture and there's a transition from single to in a relationship. Being single comes with many perks like the freedom to flirt, only have to focus on yourself, and you don't have to put up with anyone else bad habits. Making that change to commit to a relationship comes with better perks most of the time.  You now have someone to depend on and have your back, stability, and someone there to listen.
When I was single I would flirt a lot because I knew I could and no one could stop me.  I didn't have anyone to attend to, what I did with my time was my business and the same with my money.  Being single all I really had to do was think about just me and keep myself happy.  Now I've been in a relationship for almost a year and many things have changed. My boyfriend was once nothing to me, now he has become such a big part of my life. If I need anything he's the first person I call, I express my good or bad feelings to him, and he holds all of my secrets. Learning how to make time for another person, spend money on them, and make them happy as well as yourself, can be hard in the beginning, but it's all worth it in the end when you have a parent right next to you every step of the way.
There will come many obstacles when entering a relationship, but it will only make you stronger. When I was single people were use to me hanging out with them all the time, but now that I’m in a relationship that changed and some friend were lost.  “Before you try to change others, remember how hard it is to change yourself.” Relationships can be very hard to transition into because you’re so set on doing things your way, but it’s all about seeing things someone else way.


Once you’re in a relationship it seems like now everyone wants you. During these situations you have to stay strong because they don’t want you for you, they only want you because someone else has you.  The change from being single to being in a relationship may seem hard, but at the end of the day it’s a very rewarding change in life.

  1. So that quote is from the source at the bottom? Ok--make sure to share that with your readers. Name the source/website early on. And possibly pick a more relevant quote? The reason I suggest that is that you have a lot of text on the change of relationships, and I think it's important to focus on that with quoting. You don't need to go to quote websites; do some academic research and see what you can find from experts specifically on relationships. Then your readers will know you put the time in for the most detailed post possible.

  2. I can relate to this post because I have dealt with this experience but consider the opposite from being in a relationship to being single ... how difficult that transition can be.. dedicating your days to someone and all of the sudden with the snap of a finger it changes.

  3. I can relate to your blog. There is a big difference in being single and being in a relationship. You have to consider someone else's feelings and concerns. You cannot change anyone, but you can work on your differences. It is comforting to be able to depend and count on someone to be there for you. Having to make a choice, I would rather be in a relationship with someone instead of being single.

  4. Coming from a guy you wouldn't normally see one really leaving a comment about this. Most guys, including myself at times, try to act tough and blow off things. Well I'm more of that sensual type of guy so I can relate to this in a way. Its really good how you explained this because those who are in a relationship know exactly what you're talking about and its good that you can relate to your audience. I myself experienced these changes in my current relationship and to me it was a little tough at first to cope with her ways of doing this, but I learned quickly and realized "Happy wife, happy life." Except she's my girlfriend for now that is.
