- Thinking your relationship is the source of all your happiness: Some people get so deeply connected to their relationships that they start seeing it as their only source of happiness in the world. That burden is too much to put on one person regardless of how much they love you, no one should be seen as the source of all your happiness. Always remember that you should be happy enough for yourself before you go looking for happiness in others. Be happy with who you are, with the life you live, with the obstacles you’ve tackled.
- Thinking that broken trust can’t be brought back again: When someone breaks your trust, it hurts and that kind of hurt is sometimes too much for some people to handle, but it happens and we all go through it. It’s not going to be an easy task to move past the pain and try to find your way back to the person but slowly and gradually the trust you two once made will come back, maybe not in the pure form it once was in, but in a state that can be refined and made stronger than ever.
- Not being able to move on and start anew: Whatever happened in the past should remain there as it might be filled torment and heartbreak and bringing it into your present causes much more harm. And it’s worse and more painful when you drag someone along with you, someone who keeps trying to make you happy. Whatever happened in your past isn’t your partner’s fault and they should not be blamed for the sorrows you went through. Make sure you learn to forgive and forget, put an end to the demons of your old self before wanting to start fresh and new with your partner. Refusing to do that will end the relationship even before it begins.
- Not able to share enough time with your partner: When you’re with someone and you start a life with them, there’s no “me” anymore. It’s “us” and you need to stay in that frame of mind throughout your relationship if you want to make it work. You need to make sure you have enough time to not make your partner feel ignored. If you’re someone who gets “very busy”, don’t commit to anyone until you can work on your routine and manage your time first.
- Thinking that relationships should be easy: Relationships aren’t easy and they are sometimes the hardest to maintain and stabilize for a long period of time because of the two different people in it. Easy relationships end as quickly and as easily as they start off while real and relationships have a lot of ups and downs. Relationships are the most beautiful things in the world, likewise, they’re also not a walk in the park.
- Thinking a white lie is okay: Lying is wrong, regardless of the details involves. Even though the lie may seem small and harmless, it’s still a lie and once you let yourself be okay with “lying a little”, you’ll slowly move towards the direction of “lying a lot”. At the end of the day, this accumulation of white lies begins to eat the foundation of your relationship.
