<\/p>\nYou’ve spent a significant amount of time in your life figuring out dating and romance. Truth be told, this has been one of your primary concerns ever since your teenage years. Well, you’re not alone.<\/p>\n
But is it possible that you never got to the bottom of your love life because you had no idea how many types of relationships there are? Yes, there is much more out there than the patterns that you’re used to.<\/p>\n
\u00bfCu\u00e1les son los tipos de relaciones? \u00bfC\u00f3mo reconocer cada uno de ellos? Y lo m\u00e1s importante: \u00bfc\u00f3mo manejarlas de la mejor manera posible?<\/p>\n
We’ve got you covered. Here are the answers to all of these questions and more.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Many people see this kind of interpersonal relationship as normal and typical; the truth is that it\u2019s anything but healthy.<\/p>\n
Basically, when you\u2019re in a relaci\u00f3n codependiente<\/a>, you don\u2019t love your partner the right way \u2013 you just think you do.<\/p>\n In fact, you\u2019re addicted to them. It’s normal for your partner to play an important role in your life, but it’s much worse than this in your case.<\/p>\n You\u2019re obsessed with their presence in your life, and everything they do or say affects you.<\/p>\n Con el tiempo pi\u00e9rdete<\/a> completely. Your primary goal in life is to keep this person by your side because you\u2019re convinced that you would literally die without them.<\/strong><\/p>\n No, this is not romantic, and it\u2019s certainly not the way a romance saludable<\/a> should look. I hate to break it to you, but you\u2019re a novia pegajosa<\/a> or boyfriend if you\u2019re codependent.<\/p>\n You have no self-sufficiency, no autonomy, and no life outside of your relationship. Truth to be told, you\u2019re unable to express any type of emotion that doesn\u2019t concern your partner.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t care what happens in the world outside of your intimate relationship, as it\u2019s the only thing that really matters to you.<\/p>\n Sufres de falta de autoestima y vives con el miedo constante de que tu pareja se aleje de ti.<\/p>\n With time, you develop serious abandonment trauma. Your entire world revolves around this person \u2013 they give you meaning and make you fulfilled.<\/p>\n Without them, you\u2019d be utterly lost, and your existence would be pointless. At least, this is how you feel.<\/p>\n Lo peor es que tu novio o novia permite tu obsesi\u00f3n. Disfrutan con el hecho de que dependas de ellos, aunque probablemente nunca lo admitir\u00edan.<\/strong><\/p>\n Otherwise, they wouldn\u2019t have stayed with you so long, would they? The truth is that the other party enjoys the emotional control they\u2019ve managed to impose on you.<\/p>\n This is the only way for them to feel relevant. Your behavior serves them as an ego boost, and that\u2019s the only reason they keep you around.<\/p>\n Lo contrario de una relaci\u00f3n codependiente es una relaci\u00f3n independiente. Al principio, puede que veas a las parejas independientes como cualquier cosa menos verdaderas parejas, ya que rara vez siguen los patrones tradicionales de las relaciones.<\/p>\n Uno se los imagina viviendo vidas completamente separadas y, para algunas personas, incluso podr\u00edan parecer extra\u00f1os. Sin embargo, esto dista mucho de la realidad.<\/strong><\/p>\n You see, when you\u2019re in an independent relationship, you remain the person you were before meeting your loved one.<\/strong><\/p>\n However, this doesn\u2019t mean that you\u2019re not subject to personal growth and improvement.<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s just that neither of you changes the essence of their beings just to please the other person. Even though you\u2019re in a relationship, you keep the life you had before your partner.<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, you two meet halfway on some things \u2013 that is completely normal. However, you still have your goals, career, friends, family relationships, and hobbies.<\/p>\n Now you\u2019ve just found someone to accompany you on this journey called life. You\u2019ve found someone who won\u2019t try to mold you and who won\u2019t do anything to endanger your individuality.<\/p>\n Lo mejor de esta relaci\u00f3n es que you don\u2019t actually need your partner<\/a> \u2013 you\u2019ve just chosen to be with them.<\/p>\n Of course, you would miss them if they were gone. You would grieve their absence, but your world wouldn\u2019t stop spinning if that happened.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t depend on them financially, emotionally, or in any other way. Their departure wouldn\u2019t mess up your life too much, and it certainly wouldn\u2019t significantly reduce its quality.<\/strong><\/p>\n This might sound harsh, but in this situation, you both put yourselves first. It doesn\u2019t mean that you don\u2019t love your boyfriend or girlfriend \u2013 you just love yourself more.<\/p>\n Trust me: this doesn\u2019t make you selfish. It only shows that you\u2019re both mature and have the capacity to look at things realistically, without feelings included.<\/p>\n Te guste admitirlo o no, tu amor podr\u00eda desvanecerse alg\u00fan d\u00eda. Podr\u00edais separaros. You\u2019ll be left with the life you\u2019ve built outside of your romance, so it better be a good one.<\/p>\n The title says it all: in this relationship, there is a clear difference between an active and a passive partner. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve seen tons of relationships, especially marriages like this.<\/p>\n I\u2019m talking about the ones where, for example, a wife\/mother is in charge of basically everything. She does the cooking, the cleaning, and other chores.<\/p>\n She is the one responsible for the children\u2019s upbringing, and the one everyone consults with before making a life-changing decision.<\/p>\n Por otro lado, el marido se deja llevar por la corriente. La mayor parte del tiempo, es un espectador pasivo ante los miembros de su propia familia.<\/p>\n He has no interest in how the kids are raised, where they will go on their next vacation, or what they\u2019ll have for lunch. This man\u2019s only responsibility is to go to work and bring money home.<\/p>\n El resto del d\u00eda se tumba en el sof\u00e1, ve la tele y se comporta como un aut\u00e9ntico par\u00e1sito. Por supuesto, las cosas pueden ir en ambos sentidos, y esto es s\u00f3lo un ejemplo.<\/p>\n However, an active\/passive relationship doesn\u2019t always have to be this obvious \u2013 sometimes you don\u2019t even realize that your relationship struggles with this kind of dynamic.<\/p>\n En la mayor\u00eda de los casos, la pareja activa es la que lleva toda la relaci\u00f3n a sus espaldas, de un modo u otro.<\/strong><\/p>\n At the end of the day, they\u2019re the ones keeping it alive, while the other person just tags along.<\/strong><\/p>\n La raz\u00f3n por la que este tipo de relaciones son m\u00e1s habituales de lo que se cree es que los polos opuestos se atraen<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cuando se conocen por primera vez, la parte pasiva calma a la activa. Por otro lado, la parte activa aporta la excitaci\u00f3n que el pasivo echa de menos.<\/p>\n However, as soon as the initial butterflies are gone, you face trouble in paradise. The active partner starts to feel overwhelmed while the passive one can\u2019t handle the pressure.<\/p>\n Muchas personas cometen un error al pensar que activo\/pasivo y dominante\/tipos de relaciones sumisas<\/a> son la misma cosa. Sin embargo, lo cierto es que difieren en muchos aspectos.<\/p>\n Just because you\u2019re an active partner doesn\u2019t make your boyfriend or girlfriend submissive.<\/p>\n You might be louder, more capable, or even more aggressive when it comes to your common interests, but that doesn\u2019t mean that the other person is automatically compliant.<\/p>\n Al o\u00edr estos t\u00e9rminos, lo primero en lo que probablemente piense es en el dormitorio.<\/p>\n Bueno, la relaci\u00f3n dominante\/sumisa es mucho m\u00e1s que eso, y tus actividades entre las s\u00e1banas son en su mayor\u00eda s\u00f3lo una parte de ella.<\/p>\n A submissive partner has no say in and out of the bedroom, and all control is in the hands of the dominant one. They\u2019re the one who governs both of your lives in all of its aspects.<\/p>\n A primera vista, la pareja dominante lo tiene mejor en este tipo de din\u00e1mica de poder. La verdad es que tienen muchos m\u00e1s derechos.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, their responsibilities are bigger, as well. It’s their duty to protect their esposa sumisa<\/a> o marido, para cuidarlos en todo lo posible y guiarlos por la vida.<\/p>\n They\u2019re in charge of the entire decision-making process in the relationship and, therefore, take all the blame if something goes wrong.<\/p>\n Para la mayor\u00eda de la gente, una din\u00e1mica de poder dominante\/sumisa es lo peor que existe. Sin embargo, algunos disfrutan de su superioridad y a otros les encanta ser obedientes.<\/p>\n So, if it works for them \u2013 who are we to judge?<\/p>\n Ten en cuenta que hay una gran diferencia entre un romance en el que ambas partes est\u00e1n de acuerdo con esta configuraci\u00f3n y una relaci\u00f3n en la que esta lucha de poder es forzada.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re a submissive partner, you\u2019re not your loved one\u2019s slave, nor are they your master.<\/p>\n Lo m\u00e1s importante es que puedes y debes poner fin a este juego en el momento en que empiece a incomodarte.<\/p>\n I\u2019m sure you heard about this kind of relationship. It was named after the famous philosopher Plato. With time, the concept has been modified, although the source idea has remained the same.<\/p>\n En una relaci\u00f3n plat\u00f3nica, t\u00fa y tu pareja compart\u00eds profundas emociones el uno por el otro.<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019re committed to making your romance work; you share the same values, common interests, and you plan a future together.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sin embargo, no hay nada f\u00edsico entre ustedes dos.<\/strong> It\u2019s not that you just don\u2019t sleep together \u2013 there is also no touching and kissing. Basically, there is no physical attraction and chemistry.<\/p>\n Esto puede sonar extra\u00f1o o incluso imposible para citas modernas<\/a> but trust me \u2013 a lot of people choose this relationship as something that suits them best.<\/p>\n Para estas parejas, la intimidad es mucho m\u00e1s que satisfacer sus impulsos primarios. Se centran en otras cosas, como formar un v\u00ednculo m\u00e1s profundo y fuerte y convertirse en la mejor versi\u00f3n posible de s\u00ed mismos.<\/p>\n Suena demasiado bien para ser verdad, \u00bfverdad? Bueno, lo cierto es que no mucha gente consigue que este tipo de relaci\u00f3n funcione.<\/p>\n Whether we like to admit it or not, we all have needs that we can\u2019t control.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is why these relationships fail in most cases: one of the partners finds the passion they\u2019re lacking back home and realizes that this is not how they can continue living.<\/strong><\/p>\n However, please don\u2019t mistake friend-zoning for a platonic relationship. Theoretically, they\u2019re similar, but not the same.<\/p>\n En ambos casos, hay dos personas que son amigas y, en cierto modo, comparten una vida en com\u00fan, pero no hay nada f\u00edsico entre ellas.<\/strong><\/p>\n Nevertheless, when you\u2019re in a platonic relationship, you both agree to these terms.<\/strong> Por otro lado, una friendzone significa que una persona tiene sentimientos no tan plat\u00f3nicos por la otra.<\/p>\n They would never choose to be platonic if they had the chance \u2013 they are just left with no other choice.<\/p>\n Al mismo tiempo, en la mayor\u00eda de los casos, la otra persona no tiene ni idea de sus sentimientos y no le ve m\u00e1s que como un amigo.<\/p>\n When you start a new relationship, you don\u2019t know where it will take you or how long it will last. But every time, you hope that this is the real deal.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t think about the end, nor do you plan a break-up now that everything is going smoothly. At least, this is how things usually work. Well, with a relaci\u00f3n temporal<\/a>...todo es diferente.<\/p>\n From the very first day, this romantic relationship has an expiration date. You know it\u2019s not permanent, and you don\u2019t give your entire self to it.<\/strong><\/p>\n You don\u2019t plan your future with this person, you don\u2019t introduce them to your friends and family, and you don\u2019t share your deepest thoughts and feelings with them.<\/p>\n Officially, they\u2019re your boyfriend\/girlfriend, but they\u2019re not your life partner.<\/p>\n You might be moving out of town in a couple of months but don\u2019t want a long-distance relationship. Or you\u2019re not ready to share your life with someone else but don\u2019t want to be alone either.<\/p>\n No hay nada malo en los romances temporales con una condici\u00f3n: que ambos est\u00e9is de acuerdo con los t\u00e9rminos de vuestra relaci\u00f3n. Lo peor que puedes hacer es dar falsas esperanzas a tu pareja.<\/p>\n Lamentablemente, en la mayor\u00eda de los casos, este tipo de relaciones s\u00f3lo se consideran temporales para una de las personas. Para ellos, este romance tiene fecha de caducidad, mientras que el otro no tiene ni idea.<\/strong><\/p>\n O simplemente la otra parte se niega a aceptar las cosas como son. Ah\u00ed est\u00e1n, haciendo planes y esperando que todo cambie en el futuro.<\/p>\n Se ven a s\u00ed mismos yendo hacia el altar con la persona que los ve como un soluci\u00f3n temporal<\/a> en lugar de una soluci\u00f3n permanente. En este caso, este romance es insano, t\u00f3xico y, lo m\u00e1s importante: injusto.<\/p>\n Por desgracia, hoy en d\u00eda cada vez m\u00e1s personas se ven envueltas en una relaci\u00f3n de evasi\u00f3n sin ni siquiera saberlo. En pocas palabras, se trata de un romance entre dos personas que evitan cualquier tipo de intimidad.<\/strong><\/p>\n But I\u2019m not referring to physical intimacy this time. I\u2019m talking about real conexi\u00f3n emocional<\/a>.<\/strong> Consequently, they\u2019ve built strong walls around their hearts. They\u2019ve become overly careful, and their worst fear is of being hurt again.<\/p>\n So, they act as if they\u2019re heartless since they\u2019re convinced it\u2019s the only way to protect themselves from going through the same hell once more.<\/p>\n Estas personas no est\u00e1n disponibles emocionalmente, y eligen conscientemente parejas con las que pueden tener una relaci\u00f3n de tipo evasivo.<\/strong><\/p>\n The avoidant person doesn\u2019t include their boyfriend\/girlfriend in their life, they refuse to open up completely, and they never give them their whole heart.<\/p>\n Instead, they\u2019re constantly on the lookout. They avoid any situation that might reveal their vulnerabilities and force them to lay down their shield.<\/p>\n Tienen problemas de confianza muy arraigados y est\u00e1n dispuestos a huir en cuanto ven que la otra persona se ha acercado demasiado.<\/p>\n El problema de estas relaciones es que el otro miembro de la pareja casi siempre acaba sinti\u00e9ndose desatendido emocionalmente.<\/strong> At first, you think that you\u2019ll tear down your loved one\u2019s walls with time.<\/p>\n However, despite all of your attempts, that doesn\u2019t happen. You end up feeling unloved and unwanted, which severely damages your self-esteem and mental health.<\/p>\n \u00bfConoces a esas parejas que llevan a\u00f1os juntas?<\/p>\n Lo hicieron todo seg\u00fan las normas: se licenciaron juntos, se prometieron, se casaron y ahora tienen hijos, un perro y viven en una gran casa con vallas blancas en las afueras.<\/p>\n At first glance, this kind of life looks like a fairytale. After all, this is what we\u2019ve all dreamt of while growing up.<\/p>\n Pero a veces, las cosas son demasiado buenas para ser verdad.<\/strong> Don\u2019t get me wrong \u2013 I\u2019m not claiming that every seemingly perfect relationship is not as great as it seems.<\/p>\n Sin embargo, las relaciones guionizadas son as\u00ed. De hecho, en la mayor\u00eda de los casos, recuerdan a esas familias de Stepford.<\/strong><\/p>\n They are together and do everything by the book because that is how things should be. These couples aren\u2019t living the life they want because they\u2019re too busy fulfilling expectations.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t know whether they\u2019ve been told that their life has to look like this, if they come from a traditional family who taught them that this was the only way, or if they\u2019re just too obsessed with meeting society\u2019s standards.<\/p>\n Para los espectadores, estas parejas lo tienen todo: tienen trabajos estables, pagan la hipoteca y se van de vacaciones.<\/p>\n El d\u00eda de su boda fue m\u00e1gico, sus hijos est\u00e1n bien educados, visitan a sus familias, pasan los domingos juntos y salen con otras familias similares a la suya.<\/p>\n Pero, \u00bfse aman de verdad? \u00bfExiste una aut\u00e9ntica conexi\u00f3n emocional? \u00bfSe escuchan de verdad?<\/p>\n Nobody has ever heard them arguing \u2013 but you won\u2019t see them kissing either. One question arises here: Are people in scripted relationships robots or human beings?<\/strong><\/p>\n Las personas que se enfrentan a diversas inseguridades tienen una necesidad incontrolable de validaci\u00f3n en diferentes formas de relaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n They need someone who will tell them that they\u2019re enough, that they\u2019re doing okay, and that they\u2019re valuable. Otherwise, they won\u2019t see their own worth.<\/p>\n Suele empezar en la primera infancia, cuando el ni\u00f1o pide la aprobaci\u00f3n de sus padres, amigos o profesores.<\/p>\n However, if they don\u2019t get the right kind and amount of proof that they matter, they\u2019ll continue seeking it through adulthood.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re in this type of relationship, all you need is your partner\u2019s acceptance. Your self-esteem completely depends on their opinion, so you\u2019re also, in a way, co-dependent.<\/strong><\/p>\n Whatever you do, you do it for them to think that you\u2019re enough. You have the need to prove your worth to them because you don\u2019t have it without their validation.<\/p>\n You constantly wonder if you could do better, if they\u2019re happy with you, and if you\u2019re giving them all you should. The moment you see their dissatisfaction, you\u2019re convinced that you did something wrong.<\/p>\n Piensas demasiado cada palabra y cada movimiento. Te culpas por todo lo malo en tu relaci\u00f3n como si ellos no tuvieran ninguna responsabilidad en tu relaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s get one thing straight: someone else can never give you confirmation of your worth until you start feeling valuable. It shouldn\u2019t depend on your relationship but your own opinion and fee la primera persona que se cruce en tu camino, y te sta<\/strong>elings.<\/p>\n I\u2019m trying to say that your starting point for change has to be learning how to build your self-confidence.<\/strong><\/p>\n All the love you\u2019re getting from your partner is completely pointless unless you learn c\u00f3mo quererse a uno mismo<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n So, you\u2019ve been in a long term relationship which ended badly. In fact, it\u2019s irrelevant how long it lasted. Truth to be told, maybe it wasn\u2019t an actual relationship in the first place.<\/p>\n Either way, the bottom line is the same: you got your heart broken. I don\u2019t care if it was infidelity, if the other person didn\u2019t want you, abused you, or just didn\u2019t love you enough.<\/p>\n You\u2019re disappointed and see no light at the end of the tunnel. You\u2019ve stopped believing in love and hoping that one day, you\u2019ll find happiness.<\/p>\n \u00bfCrees que todas las mujeres o los hombres son iguales<\/a> y que todo el mundo te har\u00e1 el mismo da\u00f1o que tu ex.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t see yourself giving your heart to another person ever again, and you gave up on your \u201chappily ever after.\u201d<\/p>\n Entonces, \u00bfqu\u00e9 haces? \u00bfProcesas tus emociones? \u00bfEsperas a que las cosas mejoren?<\/p>\n Do you heal in a healthy way? Do you accept that you\u2019re emotionally unavailable and abstain from any romantic relationships?<\/p>\n No \u2013 you do the complete opposite. Vas por ah\u00ed arreglando tus problemas creando otros nuevos, lo que, por supuesto, nunca sale bien.<\/strong><\/p>\n Agarras a la primera persona que se cruza en tu camino y empiezas a salir con ella.<\/strong> Not only that \u2013 you also start things seriously.<\/p>\n However, you\u2019re doing it all to forget about your ex.<\/strong> You\u2019re using this person who has nothing to do with your scars, and you\u2019re hurting them the same way you\u2019ve been hurt.<\/p>\n Y esto, amigo m\u00edo, es un ejemplo t\u00edpico de c\u00f3mo relaciones de rebote<\/a> roll. The sad thing is that they\u2019re all around us.<\/p>\n The problem is that the other person has no clue that they\u2019re your rebound. They have no idea that you\u2019re taking advantage of them and that they\u2019re serving as a bandage for your crushed heart.<\/p>\n That is precisely what makes this entire arrangement wrong and evil \u2013 you\u2019re hurting someone harmless in the process. T\u00fa los gu\u00edas<\/a>y les das falsas esperanzas.<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, you\u2019re with your BF\/GF physically, but mentally and emotionally, you\u2019re somewhere far away. And that is something no person in this world deserves. Basically, you\u2019re no better than your ex.<\/p>\n Cuando empiezas a salir con alguien nuevo, lo \u00faltimo que quieres es parecer desesperado.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t want your new boyfriend\/girlfriend to think that you\u2019ve hit the jackpot by meeting them or to see you as some loser whose only goal is to find someone to love them.<\/p>\n After all, being emotional is out of style, isn\u2019t it? We\u2019re all acting casual, and the one who shows feelings first is a loser.<\/p>\n So, you don\u2019t put your cards on the table. Ah\u00ed est\u00e1is pasando el tiempo y durmiendo juntos, pero nunca os pregunt\u00e1is a qu\u00e9 ateneros.<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019ve never committed to not seeing other people, even though this is what you\u2019d secretly like to happen.<\/strong> Esperas que tu relaci\u00f3n empiece a parecerse a otra cosa un d\u00eda de estos.<\/p>\n En number one problem is that everything looks like you\u2019re in a real relationship, but you\u2019ve actually never defined it.<\/strong><\/p>\n Todo parece perfecto hasta que llega un momento en que algo te molesta. Puede que casi flirteen con otras personas o que sigan teniendo instaladas apps de citas.<\/p>\n But you can\u2019t say anything, can you? After all, you haven\u2019t made things clear, and they never promised their fidelity.<\/p>\n Sounds familiar, right? Well, this is what\u2019s called an casi relaci\u00f3n<\/a> \u2013 a trap almost all of us have fallen into at least once.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t get me wrong \u2013 I\u2019m not against these types of relationships. But remember that it\u2019s all fun and games until one of you catches feelings.<\/strong><\/p>\n And I assure you that this will happen sooner or later. I know what you must think: you\u2019re above that, and you can control yourself.<\/p>\n Well, in most cases \u2013 you can\u2019t. So, it\u2019s better not to start these relationships in the first place to avoid any regrets later.<\/p>\n A balanced relationship is basically the one in which you receive just as much as you take. You put in the amount of effort you\u2019re getting from your partner.<\/p>\n \u00bfPero sabes lo que dice una cita famosa? \u201cA relationship isn’t always 50\/50. Some days a person will struggle. You suck it up and pick up that 80\/20 cause they need you. That’s love.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n What I\u2019m trying to say is that you shouldn\u2019t measure the devotion, time, and effort both of you put into a relationship.<\/p>\n But at the end of the day, when you calculate everything, you\u2019re pretty much on the same level.<\/p>\n Neither partner feels like they\u2019re making all the sacrifices. They don\u2019t feel like they\u2019re moving mountains for someone who isn\u2019t ready to move a finger for their sake.<\/p>\n Todo en este romance est\u00e1 equilibrado, incluidos tus sentimientos.<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019re not the one who loves more, nor does your partner feel like their love is unrequited. <\/strong>You two are equals, and that\u2018s the magic of it all.<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ll be straight with you: out of all types of relationships, this is one of the best. Not only that: it also has the most chance of succeeding.<\/p>\n Usted y su pareja mantienen una comunicaci\u00f3n sana. Ambos os entreg\u00e1is por completo y un\u00eds fuerzas para que las cosas funcionen.<\/strong><\/p>\n Nadie siente desatendida emocionalmente<\/a> o utilizado. Nadie se siente no querido ni deseado. This one is quite similar to the rebound relationship we\u2019ve already discussed. It is also temporary, and one person doesn\u2019t share the same feelings.<\/p>\n However, when you\u2019re dating someone convenientemente<\/a>, you\u2019re not doing it primarily to get over a person from your past. You\u2019re not necessarily heartbroken or hurt.<\/p>\n In fact, you don\u2019t even have to be extra careful. In this case, you\u2019re not scared of going through the same hell you went through in your past.<\/p>\n Here, you\u2019re with your boyfriend or girlfriend just because you don\u2019t want to be alone. On the other hand, there is no one better around.<\/strong><\/p>\n Despite all of your attempts, you can\u2019t seem to find your perfect match. You know exactly what you\u2019re looking for, but sadly, you haven\u2019t crossed paths with your dream guy or girl yet.<\/p>\n So, you start dating the first person that comes along. There is no extreme chemistry here, and you certainly don\u2019t plan on spending the rest of your life with them.<\/strong><\/p>\n But they\u2019re convenient for the moment.<\/strong> They don\u2019t bother you much, they meet some of your basic standards, you like them to a certain extent, and they keep you company.<\/p>\n It\u2019s better than being alone, isn\u2019t it? Especially if all of your friends are taken, and you could use a plus one.<\/p>\n Well, isn\u2019t it obvious how wrong this is on so many levels?<\/p>\n Let\u2019s start with the fact that you\u2019re dragging someone innocent along. You\u2019ll end up breaking their heart with your little games once you leave them for the person who has everything you want.<\/strong><\/p>\n But not only that: this is also damaging for you. You\u2019re living a lie, and you\u2019re wasting your time on the wrong person while you could be out there searching for your Mr. or Ms. Right.<\/p>\n You know those relationships where it\u2019s all about the fireworks? You feel like you can\u2019t live without this person, but it\u2019s pretty obvious that you two don\u2019t function well together either.<\/p>\n So, you keep going back and forth. You\u2019ve split up more times than anyone can count, but you always find a way back to each other.<\/p>\n Por supuesto, arrastras a otras personas a tu l\u00edo por el camino. Empiezas a salir con alguien nuevo, pero de alguna manera, siempre acabas con tu ex.<\/p>\n It\u2019s enough for your loved one to look at you to tear down all of your walls. No matter what happens, your love trumps everything.<\/p>\n At least, that is what you think, isn\u2019t it? This must be love \u2013 after all, it\u2019s clear that the two of you are meant to be together.<\/strong><\/p>\n Well, this couldn\u2019t be further from the truth. This is a relaci\u00f3n t\u00f3xica<\/a> you\u2019ll waste years of your life on.<\/p>\n It\u2019s in human nature to chase what they can\u2019t have. That is exactly what you two do: you run after each other because you\u2019re both so unattainable.<\/p>\n Even though deep down, you\u2019re sure of your partner\u2019s emotions, you never know their next move. They\u2019re unpredictable, and all of this drama makes you feel more alive.<\/strong><\/p>\n As much as you hate to hear this, this is anything but healthy. Instead, it\u2019s poisonous, and it will leave severe consequences for your mental health.<\/p>\n Once again, the name says it all: this is the type of relationship where you\u2019re physically apart from your loved one. But the distance doesn\u2019t impact your love, or at least \u2013 it shouldn\u2019t.<\/strong><\/p>\n Of course, it all depends on how far away you live from each other. Most long-distance couples don\u2019t meet as often as they\u2019d like, and most of the time, they rely on technology.<\/p>\n La pregunta definitiva es si las relaciones a distancia acaban funcionando o no. Bueno, como con todo en la vida: no hay una regla y todo depende.<\/p>\n Ante todo, necesita tener un plan<\/a>. You can\u2019t continue living like this forever, especially if you want to start a family.<\/strong><\/p>\n Therefore, it\u2019s crucial that you\u2019re both on the same page here.<\/p>\n \u00bfQui\u00e9n se trasladar\u00e1 ad\u00f3nde? \u00bfSe encontrar\u00e1n a mitad de camino, o uno de los dos dejar\u00e1 atr\u00e1s su vida y se unir\u00e1 a la otra persona?<\/p>\n \u00bfQu\u00e9 pasar\u00e1 con sus carreras, amigos, aficiones y familias? \u00bfEst\u00e1n realmente preparados para dar este gran paso? Estas son todas las preguntas a las que hay que responder antes de hacer cambios cruciales.<\/p>\n On the other hand, if you don\u2019t have any concrete plans and don\u2019t talk about the future, what\u2019s the point of your relaci\u00f3n a distancia<\/a>? \u00bfPlaneas tener citas FaceTime por el resto de la eternidad?<\/p>\n Otra cosa de la que debes olvidarte es de los celos excesivos. Te guste o no, tu pareja vive al otro lado del pa\u00eds, as\u00ed que no te queda m\u00e1s remedio que confiar en ella.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re dating, you\u2019re out there on the market. You\u2019re looking for your soulmate, and you\u2019re meeting new people during your quest.<\/strong><\/p>\n You might find your potential dates on a dating app, on social media, or you\u2019re going on blind or speed dates.<\/p>\n But this is not the only definition of dating. There is also an option when you\u2019re dating only one person at a time, but you still don\u2019t call it a relationship.<\/p>\n Either way, dating is completely harmless under the condition that everyone involved knows what they\u2019re getting themselves into.<\/p>\n You have to be clear that you\u2019re not seeing anyone specific and that you\u2019re not ready to be exclusive just yet.<\/p>\n Also, there is nothing wrong if you don\u2019t feel like dating. You\u2019re allowed to flirt and text with someone, but that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re obligated to go on a date with them.<\/p>\n The good thing about being on the dating market is that you get a chance to meet a bunch of new people. You won\u2019t like some of them, but you can always remain friends.<\/strong><\/p>\n Por otro lado, aumenta significativamente sus posibilidades de encontrar el<\/a>. <\/strong>Don\u2019t be fooled into thinking that real love has to happen \u2013 sometimes you need to put effort into finding it.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not always like in the movies, and you won\u2019t necessarily fall in love with tu persona para siempre<\/a> a primera vista.<\/p>\n Sometimes, you\u2019ll go out on a few dates, and then you\u2019ll realize that they stand out from everyone else you might be seeing.<\/p>\n Spontaneously, you\u2019ll become exclusive, start a more intimate relationship, and understand that you\u2019re meant for each other. You know, the old fashioned way.<\/p>\n En pocas palabras, amigos con derecho a roce<\/a> is a type of intimate relationship when you\u2019re hooking up with someone who is your friend. It\u2019s more than a casual affair in which everything revolves around physical pleasure.<\/p>\n T\u00fa y esta persona ten\u00e9is una conexi\u00f3n profunda. Te entienden, cuidan de tu bienestar, te escuchan y aparecen cuando necesitas su ayuda o un hombro sobre el que llorar.<\/p>\n Adem\u00e1s, ten\u00e9is una qu\u00edmica incre\u00edble y os llev\u00e1is genial entre las s\u00e1banas. As\u00ed que surge la pregunta l\u00f3gica: \u00bfen qu\u00e9 se diferencia esto de una relaci\u00f3n real y por qu\u00e9 no es exclusiva?<\/strong><\/p>\n Bueno, en primer lugar, este tipo de relaciones casi nunca son p\u00fablicas. Ocult\u00e1is vuestras aventurillas, lo que lo hace a\u00fan m\u00e1s mono y excitante.<\/p>\n Also, you two don\u2019t go out on actual dates. There is no jealousy involved, and you\u2019re allowed to meet and date other people. How perfect is that?<\/p>\n It seems that almost nothing could possibly go wrong here. You get to kiss your best friend whom you\u2019re physically attracted to, but you don\u2019t get the bad sides every romantic relationship brings to the table.<\/p>\n Pero, \u00bfqu\u00e9 pasa cuando conoces a alguien nuevo?<\/strong> I know what you\u2019ll say: \u201cwe\u2019ll end our little fling.\u201d<\/p>\n Pero, \u00bflo har\u00e9is de verdad? \u00bfSeguir\u00e9is saliendo como si nada o uno de los dos acabar\u00e1 con el coraz\u00f3n roto?<\/p>\n Will you be honest with your partner about the romantic history you had with your friend? If the answer is yes, how do you think they\u2019ll take it?<\/p>\n \u00bfLes parecer\u00e1 bien que sig\u00e1is siendo amigos \u00edntimos? \u00bfO te pedir\u00e1n que te distancies de tu amigo con derecho a roce? Si es as\u00ed, \u00bfa qui\u00e9n elegir\u00e1s?<\/p>\n Dilemmas, dilemmas, dilemmas. The truth is that it\u2019s quite likely that you\u2019ll find yourself in this situation. And according to relational experts, it will happen sooner than you might think.<\/p>\n Therefore, if you don\u2019t have the answers to all of these questions, I’ll give you a piece of relationship advice: maybe it\u2019s better to stay away from this arrangement.<\/p>\n Otra raz\u00f3n para no hacerlo es su inestabilidad emocional. It\u2019s more likely that you\u2019ll enam\u00f3rate de tu amigo<\/a> (who you already love in a non-romantical way) than with some stranger you\u2019ve just met.<\/strong><\/p>\n What happens if one person\u2019s feelings grow, but the other\u2019s don\u2019t? The end of your friendship, that\u2019s right. An open relationship doesn\u2019t equal infidelity. When you\u2019re unfaithful in a monogamous relationship, you go behind your partner\u2019s back.<\/p>\n You deceive them into thinking that they\u2019re the only one in your life while you\u2019re actually backstabbing them with your lover.<\/p>\n In an open relationship, all cards are on the table, without anything hidden. You\u2019re both allowed to see other people, to go on dates, or even to sleep with them.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sin embargo, pase lo que pase, siempre vuelven el uno al otro. Por extra\u00f1o que pueda parecer a algunos, algunas parejas disfrutan de verdad con este tipo de romance.<\/p>\n They don\u2019t love each other any less than \u201cregular\u201d couples, and they only see this as a little hobby that keeps the spark alive.<\/p>\n \u00bfQu\u00e9 ocurre cuando alguien se pasa de la raya? En una relaci\u00f3n abierta, siempre hay una serie de normas: una lista de cosas aceptables e inaceptables.<\/strong><\/p>\n Pero, \u00bfpuedes realmente controlarte? Qui\u00e9n <\/strong><\/p>\n can guarantee that you won\u2019t fall in love with one of your dates?<\/strong><\/p>\n Don\u2019t get me wrong: this level of trust is admirable, and not many could stand it. However, things go unplanned in a split second.<\/p>\n Al fin y al cabo, recuerde que cada romance es una historia de amor \u00fanica. Estos tipos de relaciones deben servir como punto de partida para identificar tu relaci\u00f3n y, con suerte, mejorarla.<\/p>\n Olv\u00eddate de lo que dir\u00e1n los dem\u00e1s y elige la opci\u00f3n que m\u00e1s te convenga.<\/p>\n The only thing that matters is you and your partner’s satisfaction and joy, and nobody else, besides you two have a say in these things.<\/p>\n Also, if you’re intrigued and want to learn more about tipos interesantes de relaciones<\/a>consulte nuestros nuevos contenidos en la poliamoroso<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00bfQu\u00e9 tipo le gusta m\u00e1s?<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You’ve spent a significant amount of time in your life figuring out dating and romance.
