In the past 48 hours, I have heard from a twelve year old that she’s “so confused by this whole relationship thing”. I’ve listened to a nineteen year old wonder why “this whole dating thing has to be so messy”. At twenty-seven, I’ve sat and asked, “When did relationships get to feeling this dang complicated??” And I’ve listened to my thirty-something and married friends as they tell me it’s worth it, but it’s hard.
So, I need to know…. When did it get this complicated? How do we make it stop? And what do you do when it starts looking like the fun in dysfunctional is gone?

People are hesitant to say what they feel or think. They are afraid of commitment in their relationship, whether fear of failing or fear of acceptance. People have a hard time with trusting due to previous experiences. If you find the right one, I know that all the insecurities will vanish. That is the hope that I hold onto.
