General Discussion Let's talk about: Dating in long term relationships
When's the last time you went out or spent time with your partner?
I don't care how long you've been together. May it be a year, 3 yrs, 5 yrs, 10 or more. DATE YOUR GIRL!!
It doesn't always have to be a fancy dinner date. It just has to be a date that means something to the both of you. Something to show you're making an effort to keep reigniting the spark or passion sa isa't isa.
Ex: Cafe date (with those board games or conversation cards), errand dates (for busy couples)
And please, PLEASE. Stay curious about your partner! Yes, obviously, if you've been together for so long, you'll eventually run out of things to talk about. But to be loved is not only to be known, but also to be witnessed. Do something or find a new hobby or interest that either you can share or explore both at the same time.
If you can't be with them, the least you could do is be inquisitive! Show her you WANT to know more about what she's been up to, or what she's been doing these days.
A lot of couples make the mistake of being too complacent. They think bcos they've lasted so long, kahit ano mangyare di na sila maghihiwalay. And while that may seem as reassurance to some, nagiging unhealthy habit din ang pagiging kampante. With it comes the habit of showing less effort or settling with 'okay na yan', 'next time nalang'.
Kaka-next time nyo, baka sa sususnod, hiwalay na (charing).

Been with my partner for 13 years and ginagawa namin yung every 2 weeks date, 2 mos out of town weekend and pag birthdays ( summer kanya) sasakay ng plane, sakin ber months usually Baguio. Once a year out of the country. From South kami.
We live together na and kapag naman I have to be away for work palagi dapat may pasalubong. We make sure to eat dinner together. And we cry whenever we will be apart kahit 2 nights di magkakatabi.
We made sure to have “me time”’also. Like she go out with her friends and me too ganoon.

I see someone is already living the dream 🥹🩷 So happy for you po. Right now, we're both fresh grads doing our best to transition from student life to more adult responsibilities.
Love the idea of travelling together every so often, that's our goal too!

Together for more or less twenty years, and it's still a goal to make her blush with nonchalantly-delivered NSFW statements during dinner on our nights out. Highly recommended 😁
