There are rules in a lesbian relationship people don’t understand…
No matter what type of relationship you are in, there are rules, but rules in a lesbian relationship are something that a lot of #people don’t understand. I’ve been in a gay relationship for 6 years and there are rules in a lesbian relationship that none of my friends get – but that’s okay! I’ve got all of the rules #below that can really help you understand how a lesbian or even a gay relationship works!
1. THERE ARE NO GENDER DEFINITIONS
When it comes to lesbian relationships, one of the top rules in a lesbian relationship is that there are no gender definitions. Just because I work outside of the home and my partner works inside the home, doesn’t mean that I am suddenly the ‘man’ in the #relationship. It just means that I work outside and she works in. There aren’t automatically roles that lesbian relationships follow, it depends on the participants.
2. NOT EVERY RELATIONSHIP HAS A BUTCH/FEMME
Also, not every relationship has a butch lesbian and a femme lesbian. Truthfully, a lot of #people have that misconception about lesbians and it’s simply not true. In my #relationship, we are just us, regular people who happen to love one another. I am not a femme or a butch and neither is my #partner.
3. SEX TOYS
Another rule in a lesbian relationship is that not every relationship has to have sex toys – and if a lesbian does use them, it doesn’t mean that she is missing something. Truthfully, a #girl can get off in so many other ways and sex toys can just be for fun. In a lesbian #relationship, us girls just want to have fun!
4. SEX DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A STAPLE EVERY NIGHT
Because you are dealing with two girls, there isn’t a rule that you have to have sex every single night. You can actually go a few weeks or even months without sex just because you don’t feel like it. Try that out with a guy and who knows what can happen to your #relationship!
5. NURTURING THE RELATIONSHIP TAKES TIME
A lot of the #time, people just assume that because two lesbians are dating, they are automatically engaged – or that just because they are in a relationship, they automatically want to settle down. Nurturing the #relationship takes a long time and trust me, a girl wants to know her partner inside and out before completely committing.
6. ANY CHEATING IS STILL CHEATING
In a lesbian relationship, any cheating, whether it is online, with another #girl or even with another guy – it’s all considered cheating. This is a huge rule in my #relationship and because of past relationships, I have a bunch of trust issues. This is another misconception that #people have about lesbian relationships – that if a lesbian cheats with a guy, doesn’t mean that she is cheating. Not true!
7. NO AUTOMATIC THREESOMES
Finally, another rule in a lesbian relationship all revolves around threesomes. Just because a girl is in another relationship with another #girl, doesn’t automatically mean that she is going to ask for a threesome. In my relationship, I can’t share – ever.
So, while these are some rules and misconceptions that you might not understand – do you get them a little better now? Lesbian relationships are normal and have rules just like anyone else! So, what other rules do you have in your #relationship?
