How Millennials Approach Relationships Differently Than Older Generations

How Millennials Approach Relationships Differently Than Older Generations - How Millennials Approach Relationships Differently Than Older Generations - The way that millennials date compared to their parents and grandparents has massive differences. First of all, they don’t even call it dating anymore. There’s a boatload of vernacular for the different stages of relationships and the priorities are different today then they were 20 or 30 years ago. Here are the biggest ways the millennials approach relationships in a less conventional way.

1. They don’t believe in the fairy tale romances. They accept things realistically and keep expectations low to protect themselves from heartbreak since that tragedy is the norm in 2018 with ghosting and all the rest!

2. On another note, they don’t expect that the person they’ve been with for less than a year is going to be their one and only soulmate or the person they’ve married. Unlike past generations, marriage isn’t the ultimate goal for millennials.

3. We’re in the era of Netflix and chill. It’s ok to just hook up with someone and see where it goes. That used to mean that women allowed themselves to be doormats and use sex to keep a man interested, but now it means that a woman is free to express herself sexually however she wants.

4. That’s because millennials have less defined and even sometimes reversed gender roles, where older generations don’t. Women commonly initiate and encourage casual sex nowadays with icons like Amber Rose letting us know its ok to be sexual without the wishful thinking. Unattached females, unite!

5. Relationships don’t normally come about by two attractive strangers locking eyes in the middle of a busy NYC street, as the old’ meet-cute story used to go. Most millennial relationships are formed on apps like Tinder and Bumble nowadays.

6. But bringing technology into dating also means that people can’t communicate as well or be on the same page anymore. Ambiguous texting and e-communication can lead to a lot of misunderstandings and miscommunication, from cat-fishing to unaligned expectations.

7. Dating with technology has also brought about ghosting, which is the not so trendy trend of just totally disappearing and going AWOL after you’ve hung out. It’s disrespectful and older generations’ jaws would drop if anyone ever did that to them.

8. Nowadays, we talk about everything with our friends. While men have always had locker room talk, in 2018 women talk to their friends about every sexual detail in a judgment-free zone, whereas older generations may have had more stigma or a “behind closed doors” attitude where they don’t kiss and tell.

9. The age of non-monogamy and polyamory are emerging and becoming much less taboo. People are understanding half of marriages end in divorce and maybe temptation has to do with that. The idea of only being invested in and able to love one person is no more.

10. Millennials are having kids much later in life, whereas it was the norm for women in their late teens and 20s to start a family, whereas now financial responsibilities and career are priorities, with women commonly giving birth in their late 30s and 40s instead.

10 Tips For Creating Long lasting Relationships

10 Tips For Creating Long lasting Relationships - Welcome back, Why are relationships so complicated? Because they involve pairs of complicated people who have their own complicated thought processes and complicated emotions and complicated complications. Most people would have no idea what that previous sentence means, but fortunately, our incredibly intelligent Her Beauty readers understand everything, including what it takes to make a relationship last for the rest of your life.

1. Understand That it is Okay to Agree to Disagree

When you’re in a relationship, disagreements are bound to happen when you have completely different point-of-views on things. It could be related to religion or even whether or not it is okay to eat meat. But you must recognize that there are situations in which you will never change your partner’s mind and that’s okay!

2. Focus on Trust and Forgiveness

It goes without saying that in order for a relationship to last forever, you can’t allow yourself to believe the other person is not worthy of your trust. The constant feeling that they must be up to something will only sow the seeds of mutual resentment. Along the same lines, when your partner hurts your feelings, you should communicate this and forgive them.

3. Don’t Hide Who You Are

Honesty and openness are essential if you want a lifelong relationship. Your partner should know your strengths and weaknesses, goals and fears (and vice versa). These are the things that will make you feel closer to each other. If you remain a mystery to them, they will eventually grow tired of trying to guess who you are and the relationship is going to be doomed.

4. Realize That It Isn’t Selfish to Look Out For Your Interests

A lot of times, when couples get into a relationship, one of them wants to play the role of the people pleaser. As a result, they won’t say “no” to going to a baseball game even if they find it boring. Or they will keep agreeing to get dinner at that mediocre Italian restaurant. While life is occasionally about doing things you don’t want to, there are times when you should stand up for yourself. A lifelong partner would understand and respect this.

5. Be Willing To Discuss Both What’s Good and What’s Wrong

The foundation of a relationship that lasts forever starts with appreciating the good aspects while not ignoring the things that are creating tensions. You might be hesitant to rock the boat, but the truth is that pretending like everything is okay when it clearly isn’t will eventually become too much for either of you to handle.

6. Don’t Keep Bringing Up Old Conflicts

Remember 2 years ago when you traveled to Rome together and he/she acted like a jerk one of those days and it totally ruined the entire trip? Couples in lifelong relationships don’t try to open old wounds by mentioning negative things that happened in the past. Bating a partner is unproductive and will ensure that the relationship won’t last.

7. Don’t View Your Partner’s Mistakes as Personal Flaws

Nobody is perfect. Sometimes we show up late to things or we leave the cake in the oven too long. But instead of pointing out all of these things and trying to make your partner feel guilty or inadequate, try to find a positive way to spin these problems. For instance, encouragement instead of criticizing, and work on solving time management issues together. By working as a team, the relationship will remain a happy one.

8. Love Your Partner Even When You’re In a Bad Mood

If you’re having a bad day, never take it out on your partner. Find a way to deal with your frustrations before you see him or her again. Or better yet, use their emotional support to help you overcome whatever happened that caused the bad mood. It is also important to note that if your partner is the one who caused the bad mood, do not give them the cold shoulder or swat away their hand when they are reaching for yours. In lifelong relationships, the love is there no matter what.

9. Make Affection a Daily Routine

No matter how long you’ve been with your partner, never turn it into an “old couple” relationship. Find time to compliment him/her every day. Hold hands where ever you go. Hug and kiss randomly. Dress up and go out on dates even if you’re married or headed that way! As long as the affection is there, there will always be that spark. This is what allows relationships to last forever.

10. Be Best Friends

Of course, this had to make the list. A romantic partner who is meant to be with you forever should also be the person who you would want to hang out with if given a choice. Do all of the things that you would do with a best friend: watch movies on the sofa on a Saturday afternoon, be playful, appreciate how much sense you make of each other.
