For a long-lasting relationship, it takes you a lot of time and effort.
Falling in love is easy but staying in love for some people seems to be an unmanageable task. To be peaceful and don’t create arguments, we tolerate things which in fact shouldn’t be tolerated. Talking about problems and solving them can keep your relationship happy and long-lasting.
Thus, below we list 5 things you should stop accepting in your relationship if you want it to last.
1. Negative energy.
Healthy relationships are the ones which inspire you and lift your mood up. If after every meeting you start wondering why you spend time with a person who only brings you down and makes you feel negative, that person is not meant for you. People who are in a relationship have to support each other and not make each other upset.
2. Behaviors that break trust.
Trust is the most important thing to have in any kind of relationship. Being deceitful makes a relationship toxic. You have to understand that if you trust someone and they break your trust all the time, you shouldn’t feel guilty. It is your partner who is damaging your relationship. People usually blame themselves for trusting someone who was not worthy of it.
3. Competition.
When people have same goals, it can easily turn into a competition. The same happens when you are in a relationship. If you see that your partner has almost reached the shared goal and you haven’t, it can become a vicious competition rather than a healthy one. At the same time while you are putting all your efforts into achieving your goal, you should also remember to motivate and support one another.
4. Sluggishness.
Creating a happy relationship means to be happy about yourself first. You should be eager to improve as a person. It can become quite comfortable when you take your partner for granted. You don’t feel the need to exercise anymore because you believe that your partner loves you just the way you are. However, it will only make you lazy. You can create a stronger bond and become closer to each other if you decide to grow as individuals together. Thus, you can read the same book or exercise together.
5. Changing your true self when you are with your partner.
You should never change who you truly are so others would like you more. If you constantly feel the need to put an act whenever you are with your partner, your relationship is not genuine. It is very likely that you will break up soon as you will eventually get tired of always pretending to be someone you are not. Thus, you should feel comfortable being in your own skin and the right people will fall in love with you for who you truly are.
