If you compare your relationship or your partner to others around you in the same situation you are only building up expectations, NOT a good thing.
Every relationship is different and so is every individual.
Think about it, you love your special person because they are not like everyone else. A healthy couple looks to one another for their happiness. They do not ask their friends and families what is best for them. Your relationship does not have to be by the book. Learning what makes you happy together will be more satisfying for you both.
