During the course of our relationships there are some things we just do not expect to do. For example when your 6 you never expect throwing a slushy at your best friend would be your reaction to them to building a tree house with your arch enemy (the boy across the street). Or at 13 you never expect to let that secret slip that causes embarrassment to your friend you have known for 13 years. One would expect the apology to be accepted if the boy was cute, but often physical attributes wont dry the tears of a shattered girl. Sweet 16's expect the promise ring to be the commitment that makes their friends jealous. Teen boys expect to be rejected, yet still yawn and stretch at the movies, for that one unexpected turn from the girl during the scary part. Everyone expects to fall in love, or at least hopes for it. No one should expect the end of a relationship when they first get into it. I am curious within a relationship what is one thing you never expected to do (good or bad)?
Fall out of love with them.
ReplyDeleteFalling out of love is something I would think comes as unexpected. No one every says, "Oh I should start a relationship with so N so so I can fall out of love with them some day". Of course it brings a whole list of doubts and concerns along with it. Did love even really exist? Where did I fail? Or the blame game, it was their fault, I did nothing.
ReplyDeleteI had a quick relationship once with a stranger. Perhaps he may not even remember it. It was short, unexpected, but has lived in my memory as one of the most romantic moments in my life time thus far. I was with my BF sitting in traffic to go to 6 flags. When an old beater pulls up on the side of the road. A very charming long haired (hippyvibing) guy steps out of his car with a small arrangement of wild flowers tied together with a small strap of leather. Without a word, hands them to me through the car window, smiles and goes back to his car. A smile on my face still happens every time I think of it. It was defiantly unexpected, and a perfect short relationship.
