20 Memes Highlighting 20 Hard Truths About Dating & Relationships

Dating and relationships are no walk in the park. It takes hard work and some sacrifices to make things work between men and women - after all, we are from different planets.

While we may dream of fairy tale romances and happily-ever-afters, and maybe some of us have even found them - the reality is that relationships require hard work, sacrifice, and compromise.

Relationships take effort to maintain. It's easy to fall in love, but staying in love requires ongoing effort and commitment. This means being willing to put in the work to communicate effectively, show appreciation for your partner, and make time for each other NOT excuses gentlemen ;) despite busy schedules and general life that happens all around us.

Here are 20 hard truths we all need to hear while dating and also while in relationships to make us understand where to put our efforts, and when we simply need to take ourselves - and our self respect and walk away.
