7 Sure Shot Ways to Make a Relationship Successful
5. Allow breathing space for each other
Close is good but too close for comfort, isn’t. Allow him his own space. Don’t make him feel you are spying on him – you’ll lose respect. Give him the space to do things he might want to do on his own and don’t feel like you have to find out what he is up to all the time. When it comes to space, if you are in doubt, notice carefully and when sure, ask.
6. Be reasonable while resolving problems
Every time you have disagreements don’t fly off the hook. Its normal for two people to disagree because no matter how much they are in love they still have separate identities. Refrain from uttering words like “You always”, “I’m sick and tired” etc. Talk don’t blame. Start a conversation with sentences like “I think I did not quite get that, could you please explain?” or “I know we have our own space but I’d love if you could talk about this”, etc.
7. Don’t expect others to make you happy
If you are feeling depressed for a long time, or think everything in your life is a waste, don’t crib to your partner, visit a psychiatrist! It’s not only unfair but also a huge burden on anyone to take care of someone unhappy in their lives. Make friends, cultivate hobbies, or join an NGO to feel happy. Always remember your partner is a part of your life. There are other parts of life that you need to take care of yourself.
