There are so many different types of relationships!
When you are born you are automatically the member of a family. That is a relationship. Within the family there are so many relationships. So many family members, immediate and extended. You will be someone’s child, someone’s brother or sister, someone’s cousin, etc.
You get older and you make friends. That is another type of relationship. A lot of us know how difficult friendship can be growing up and as an adult. It can be wonderful as well!
Then you go to school. You have classmates and teachers. Those are relationships that are now part of your life.
Did you ever think of how many different types of romantic relationships there are? You and a partner can live together and not be married. You can be married. You can be dating. You can be friends with benefits, etc.
I have my own interesting relationships. My ex-husband was married before we were married. He had a three year old daughter when we met. So when I gave birth to my daughter she automatically had a seven year old sister. I am good friends with my step-daughter’s mom. I also have a good relationship with my ex-husband’s girlfriend! My step-daughter has four moms which includes her mother-in-law. “It’s complicated!”
