‘What did you only find out about women when you got a girlfriend?’ – 19 people who had their minds blown by a relationship

The opposite sex can be a bit of a mystery, and, just like learning to drive a car, there are some things you can’t gain an understanding of simply by reading a book or watching a YouTube video.
