14 Biggest Relationship Mistakes Peoplemake by BLAND1(m): 8:23am On Aug 16, 2013
#1 Expecting Marriage to Fix Everything
Too many couples hurry to the alter
expecting it to magically fix everything.
Marriage certainly can feel magical
sometimes, but it does not make life
suddenly perfect.
#2 Constantly Fighting
Couples that argue all the time are not
healthy, however couples that never discuss
the tough issues may be worse. If you both
keep sweeping problems under the rug and
pretending to be happy,the downfall may be
drastic. You may have been raised to think
that men and women are supposed to fight
like cats and dogs, but this is far from true.
If you find yourself fighting nearly every day
just to make yourself heard, it’s probably
time to head out or send your partner
packing.
#3 Expecting Things to Change
This is a hard lesson for some people to
learn, but you can’t change your boyfriend/
girlfriend. Only they can do that and only
when they decide to. If you’re waiting it out,
expecting something wonderful to happen,
you’re only wasting your time.
#4 Pretending to Like Things That You Don’t
This is a textbook mistake that people have
been making since the beginning of time!
Be with someone that shares your interests
or at least someone that respect your
differences, you will be much happier.
#5 Making Assumptions
One of the biggest assumptions made in a
relationship is thinking that your partner is
a certain way just because you met
someone else that’s that way too. The whole
“all guys/girls are the same” idea gets old
fast.
#6 Not Seeing Things From Their View
You need empathy to get through any other
relationship in your life — with co-workers,
your family, your friends — why should it be
different with your partner?
#7 Not Being on the Same Page
Some couples have a problem with one
person feeling more committed than the
other. The best way to ensure this problem
never arises is to make sure you’re on the
same page about everything. Talk it out,
assure your partner of how you feel about
them.
#8 Not Compromising
Let him pick where you go to eat if you get
to pick the movie or vice versa. In the end,
neither of you will really care what you did
that day, but you’ll always remember that
you were both willing to do something just
because the other person likes it.
#9 Not Handling Embarrassment
A lot of people will accept being with
someone that makes them feel
embarrassed, or worse, someone that is
embarrassed to be seen with them. Don’t
sell yourself short just because you’re afraid
of being alone. You owe them and yourself
the respect to get out.
#10 No Romance
Sure, feeling like you’re in a chick flick can be
pretty cheesy, but sometimes it’s those
cheesy little moments that really show your
partner that you care.
#11 Can’t Handle Distance
It is not uncommon for someone to have a
job that takes them far away at times. Some
people are not cut out for a relationship like
this but will make the mistake of trying to
stick with it anyway. It may seem brutal to
break it off because you can’t handle the
distance, but in the end you will only be
saving each other from years of misery.
#12 Not Resolving Conflict
It’s become pretty popular to avoid saying
“I’m sorry” at all costs these days. This may
work for you if you’d like to make your
partner feel terrible, but owning up to your
mistakes will be worth it for both of you.
#13 Intentionally Saying Hurtful Things
This is a tactic that some people just didn’t
grow out of after high school like they
should have. Even when you are arguing
with each other, don’t say things that you
know will hurt them. Don’t disrespect them
or say something that could affect them
negatively.
#14 Forgetting to Be Friends
The root of a healthy relationship is
friendship. Don’t let your romance (or lack
thereof) make you forget that.http://jadeafrican.com/14-biggest-relationship-mistakes-people-make/
