Fall is here, my friends, and I’m ready. My religious intake of PSLs has begun, I’m searching high and low for those frozen, pumpkin-faced sugar cookies that seem to somehow disappear from every grocery store before the season even starts, and my Friday nights are exclusively reserved for Halloween movies. This year, I started with The Addams Family, and let me tell you: Gomez and Morticia Addams have some serious game. And seeing their exchange of witty lines made me wonder how my boyfriend would react if I flirted like Morticia Addams for a week. Would he find it amusing? Would he even notice anything out of the ordinary? We are pretty flirtatious on the reg, but Morticia Addams is definitely next level.

If You’re In A Relationship, But Not In Love, Here’s How To Talk About It

Relationships are a two way street. In order for one to work long-term, all parties need to be on the same page. That means not just having a shared vision for the future, but also being communicative about how your feelings for each other are developing over time. It can be truly heart-wrenching to be in a relationship but not in love with someone who you know is very much in love with you, and figuring out how to talk to them about it can be difficult. No one wants to break another person’s heart.

I Broke Up With My Boyfriend Of 2 & Half Years When Nothing Was “Wrong” & I Don’t Regret It

Looking back on the last six years, I’ve ended every relationship I’ve been in for no reason.

You’ve probably heard the phrase “forgive and forget” at some point, and honestly, it’s pretty safe to say that it’s easier said than done.
