When it comes to being in a relationship, a lot of people don’t necessarily think about the ‘what ifs’. What if the relationship ends? Are you prepared for how it will affect your life? Are you prepared for how it might affect the lives of your loved ones? What if you have to hide a part of your identity that’s crucial to your well-being? These are all questions that can arise in a relationship , especially if one person is not as accepting of the other person’s identity. Sometimes, it can be easy to sweep these things under the rug, but only if they don’t affect your everyday life. However, sometimes they can become a factor that will influence your day-to-day life.
