準備好朝夕共處?同居前需先想好的5件事

Original Content from THREAD TW credit: Unsplash 現今社會的思想與觀念較從前開放,年輕情侶選擇婚前同居愈趨普遍,然而同居真的如想像般美好嗎? 相愛的兩人總希望24小時膩在一起,而形影不離的最好方式就是同住一屋簷下。不過「相見好同住難」,同居是讓感情昇華,還是沖淡戀情,都有待時間觀察。 無論如何,決定同居之前應先仔細思考:你是出於哪種原因想和他/她一起生活?如果有同居的打算,那麼以下5件事一定要認真想清楚: https://media.giphy.com/media/3oz8xGMCknEi7cU9tS/giphy.gif 1. 失去戀愛的感覺 一起生活意味著見面的時間變多了,天天膩在一起的兩人會漸漸失去新鮮感和神祕感,甚至會覺得沒有私人空間和自由而加速倦怠期的到來。這時候,如何讓愛情保鮮成了同居最重要的課題。 2. 幻想破滅 熱戀期的時候,不管是誰都會想在喜歡的人面前展現最好的一面,不過進入同居模式後,兩人已無法時時刻刻維持個人形象而慢慢地暴露真面目。或許該問問自己:能否接受與包容對方的缺點或期望的落差? 3. 生活習慣的磨合 如果兩人個性和成長背景不盡相同,生活習慣也有可能天淵之別。當所有的陋習都赤裸裸攤在對方面前時,要妥協或磨合就看兩人的溝通方式了。 4. 吵架後的去處 情侶住在一起,難免會有摩擦、意見不合的時候;問題是還未同居前,兩人可以各自回家冷戰一段期間,一旦同居後,兩人還可以心平氣和睡在同一張床上嗎? 5. 經濟問題 財務狀況大概是最實際又現實的考量因素。雖然談錢傷感情,但兩人合租一單位,支出分配上建議在同居前已達成共識。要是其中一方仰賴另一方負責全部開支,僅憑一人之力肯定是辛苦不已,而且也相當不公平。 兩人一起生活不是一件易事,奉勸各位在同居前一定要深思熟慮啊! 注:圖片取自網絡 READ MORE: Continue reading 準備好朝夕共處?同居前需先想好的5件事

30歲的你,搞懂愛情了嗎?在愛情中受過傷的你後來知道的事…

Original Content from THREAD TW via pexels 剛邁入30歲的你,是不是有點恐慌?外在和心態的轉變越來越明顯,這難道就是最令人擔心的初老嗎?名模林志玲在40歲生日時寫過:「人生,每個階段,其實都挺好」。各位姐妹,不要被數字牽著走,它只是反映你人生經歷過的歲月,並非主宰你人生的一切。 慶幸的是,你的心臟還活躍地跳動著。在愛情中哭過、傷過、痛過的你,還是堅強地站起來,迎接早晨的陽光。回首過去,你赫然發現: 世界不是只剩下愛情 曾經把愛情視為生活唯一重心的你,在失去愛情後,整個世界崩塌,找不到人生目標,覺得自己的人生只能渾渾噩噩一輩子。非他不可的你因自己的執念,迫自己入了死胡同,但時間一點一滴過去了,你遇到了很多美好的人、事、物後,才明白: 治療情傷的良藥叫時間 via pexels 在愛情中遍體鱗傷的你,經歷歲月的洗滌後,漸漸地回到了正常生活,也慢慢地把過去不堪回首的記憶漸漸淡忘,原來別人口中的「時間會沖淡一切」不是亂說的,只因為自己正是活生生的例子。如果你還在過去悲痛中,想告訴你: 拼命想忘記只會苦了自己 當初瘋狂地想念,後來拼命地想忘記,你灌了自己好多酒,喝得酩酊大醉,醒了之後卻發現酒精不是解藥,心還在痛、眼淚還是不停脫眶而出…別再折磨自己了,要知道: 錯過的人就像列車窗外的風景 就像列車窗外劃過的沿路風景,在你人生列車前進的路上,有些人註定是錯過的。既然不是愛情的終點站,這些沿路的風景就當作是一幅美麗的畫,讓你人生變得色彩豐富,最後你會領悟到: 不管單身、戀愛或已婚,享受當下最重要 via pexels 揮別過去傷痕累累的自己,現在的你比以前更堅強了,還沒進入下一段感情的你,好好提升自己等待下一個對的人吧~至於已經找到另一半的,願你能張開雙手享受當下,以及好好愛著30歲、正值年華的自己。 注:所有圖片皆取自網絡 READ MORE: Continue reading 30歲的你,搞懂愛情了嗎?在愛情中受過傷的你後來知道的事…
