Relationship Status: Wrong

Most people say that when they find the person they’re supposed to spend the rest of their lives with, it just feels “right.”

Well, that’s just dandy. But, what is “right” supposed to feel like?

I thought I had this figured out. I thought I knew that “right” meant wanting to see/talk/be with the other person every day. Missing them even though you just left them five minutes ago. Laughing with them and occasionally, at them. Being happy. Making them happy. Loving them. Falling asleep with them, wrapped around each other like you’d never let go.

If all that feels right, then how is one supposed to know if it’s wrong? Even if feelings fade over time, does that make them less right? More wrong? How does something go from right to wrong? Is that even possible?

Perhaps it would help if when two people listed themselves as “in a relationship,” on Facebook, a notification popped up that either said “right” or “wrong.” But Facebook, the heathen that it is, probably isn’t even that sophisticated.

Bottom line: Feelings are tricky.

Guess that’s why those Facebook guys created the “it’s complicated” status. Because really, what relationship isn’t complicated at some point?!
