Every relationship differs. The rules of engagement are based on the parties involved as what is deemed acceptable and what will not be tolerated.
For some, a deal breaker in a relationship may be cheating, for others; it is not the act of cheating itself but how it played out.
If it was a onetime thing or was it an affair that lasted for a while, involving emotion, diverting attention, resources and time that should be intended only for the significant other.
All kinds of couples exist, the identical couple; this couple is so in sync with each other. They know each other inside out. They know details such as favorite colour, book, movie, food, pet peeves and what he/she would or would not like.
This couple you avoid on game night as they make such a great team that they win every time. This is the kind of couple that at times finish each other’s sentences or can tell what the other is thinking by just a mere look.
Then there is the power couple, always on the latest, hippest social scene. Both are socialites, gregarious and have a lot of friends. They spend time together but ensure they keep up with their social circle as much as possible. Both have great careers and motivate each other. They are on equal par in all aspects and combined they are a force to be reckoned with.
Are you agumentative?
Then there is the relationship that seems unequal. One is the reacher and one is the settler. One person is out of league with the other.
When together in public, they get stares of amazement as one wonders, how, why and when did that person chose to be with that person?
Are there special skills or techniques involved, used behind closed doors that allow one to acquire such a coveted prize? The person who has upgraded is definitely the reacher and the out of their league partner is the settler.
Then there is the open-minded couple, who are content at sharing their significant other with other people. They might also get a kick out of it and are known as the perpetual swingers.
You might say they embrace stepping outside the relationship and don’t view it as cheating as long as they are aware of what is happening and in some cases, with whom it is happening.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of what couples there are out there. Whichever couple you are, it is important that you keep the love, communication and respect alive and well.
It is said that love is a varied, splendid thing and it makes for an interesting world with all the variations.
