Here are the best tips that you definitely need to hear if you like to have healthy, loving relationship.
1. Trust your gut, but don’t let past relationship impacts your current one
Believe your current partner when they say they love you. Just because things have gone bad before, it doesn’t mean it isn’t real now.
2. Don’t attack your partner’s personal privacy in order to find out if you can trust them or not
It’s important to give your partner a little bit of personal space. Remember building trust, takes trust.
3. A healthy, loving relationship isn’t supposed to hurt you over and over again
Being with someone shouldn’t be a constant struggle to please them; it should feel like coming home.
4. Don’t compare your relationship to the stuff you read in books or watch on TV
Never compare your relationship to your friend’s ones, or to the couples you see online or on TV. It’s just not realistic, and it’s unhealthy to put those expectations on yourself and your partner.
5. Remember, caring for yourself is NOT selfish
Caring about yourself is necessary. So giving attention to yourself is as important as to your partner.
6. Don’t make someone your priority, if it’s obvious they won’t do the same for you
Don’t make someone your priority when you’re only an option to them. Respect yourself and your time.
7. It’s okay to say no. It’s okay to stand up for yourself
Never do things that are making you uncomfortable. Sometime it’s completely okay to say NO.
8. Searching for a “fairytale relationship” just isn’t real
There is no perfection, and if you feel like you have to be perfect with someone, or have to change yourself to get to that, it’s probably not meant to be.
9. Listen to your intuition and don’t ignore the red flags
Always listen to your intuition. Trust yourself and pay attention to the warnings.
10. Actions speak louder than words
Sweet words are superficial and they really mean nothing if there are no actions to back them up. Remember, you deserve to be treated right.
11. There will always be people who have negative things to say about your partner and your relationship
Never pay attention to others and what they say about your relationship as long as you are happy and satisfied.
12. You can love more than once
You are allowed to break up, and to be hurt. Remember, you are going to find a new love. Just stay positive and remember you are beautiful and worth it.
13. It’s okay to want to be in a relationship, but try not to spend so much time stressing out about it
There’s no shame in admitting you want a relationship, but try not to obsess over it! Enjoy being single and take more time with yourself, your family, and your friends.
