What many fail to understand is that a label does not define the status of your relationship or the depth of the connection you share with someone. People often think that once you make this commitment you are bound to do certain things for the other when really it should not be that way at all. As a matter of fact, things you do out of obligation is not even worth it if its not done with love. You shouldn’t prioritise someone else just because they are your significant other and you think it’s the right thing to do. If they’re someone you truly care for
