When you’re in a happy relationship, everything seems right with the world. There’s just so much optimism. You see yourself going places with your new babe. But in case your relationship happens to fall during Valentine’s Day, you may be forced to take a step back, reflect, and assess whether you’re justified in your optimism.
Valentine’s Day can bring you a unique moment of clarity. We can all agree it’s a day that can put a strain on any relationship due to the pressure and as such, it’s often recommended that couples be together for a few months before celebrating their first Valentine’s Day. But you cannot control the calendar. In case you’re feeling lost, you’re not alone.
Here are some memes online that could relate to your situation:
