Over time, therefore, it has become a thing for some certain opinions and character traits to become widely acceptable to the point of being undebatable. The acceptance of communication, honesty, and fidelity among several others is now pretty much unquestioned.

But here's the thing about humans and choices; we all have a mind and our individuality springs from there. It is where opinions are formed and characters are concretised so it is not unusual for people to have opinions that do not conform to mainstream ideas.

And that's just fine. That an opinion is unpopular does not make it invalid. When it comes to relationships, here are some interesting but unpopular opinions that you may find really interesting in your relationship.

1. It's OK to not have an instant chemistry in your relationship

"Teach them how you specifically want to be loved so that they feel open to teaching you. Also remember, not every girl before you may have required him to step a certain way, so introduce him to a queen (growth, patience, love, & happiness )may feel like we’re settling. When in all actuality you have to grow."
